To søfolk dræbt af voldsom bølge

To indiske søfolk om bord på det belgisk flagede tankskib Arafura, er døde efter at de blev ramt af en kraftig bølge, men de var i gang at inspicerede den forreste del afskibet i i høj sø. De dræbte er skibets overstyrmand og en matros.

Skibet ses her under et tidligere navn Foto: Euronav.

Tankskibet befandt sig i berygtede Drakes Passage, mellem Antarktis og sydspidsen af Sydamerika - undervejs fra Porto do Acu i Brasilien til Long Beach i Californien – da ulykken skete.

Besætningen på Arafura slog alarm til de chilenske myndigheder, der sendte to marinefartøjer til en aftalt position for et rendezvous. De to hårdt kvæstede søfolk blev overført til det største af de to krigsskibe - men deres liv stod ikke til at redde.

Arafura har nu genoptaget sejladsen, og sejler nu langs den chilenske kyst med kurs mod Long Beach.

Arafura er ejet af det belgiske rederi Euronav.

Her udtaler man sin dybe

sorg over det hændte, og kondolence overfor de efterladte familier.
