Sri Lanka: Oliekatastrofe afværget

Råolielasten på ca. 2 mio. tønder om bord på New Diamond er nu sikret og en “enorm maritim katastrofe” er afværget, siger Sri Lankas kystvagt. Bjærningsmandskab er endelig kommet om bord på supertankeren, der forventes at blive erklæret for totalskadet.

I første omgang gik tre medarbejdere fra bjærgningsselskab Smit Salvage om bord som fortrop på det 300.000 dwt. store New Diamond, inden de fik selskab af yderligere seks mand for en nærmere besigtigelse af skaderne på skibet efter branden, der varede en uge.

Den srilankanske kystvagt fastslog, at råolien om bord “nu var sikret” og at en “enorm maritim katastrof” var afværget.

Et konstateret oliespild med en bredde på mellem 10 og 30 meter og omkring en sømil lang vurderes til at bestå af brændstof, der er skyllet over bord blandet med havvand fra de overfyldte maskin- og pumperum.

Oliespildet blive bekæmpet fra luften af den indiske kystvagt.

Det 20 år gamle tankskib er endnu ikke blevet erklæret totalskadet, men ventes at blive det på grund af de omfattende skader og skibets alder.

Ifølge Vesselvalue er var skibets værdi omkring 21 mio. dollar.
