Kulskib forlod sejlrute i Great Barrier Reef

En domstol i Queensland har idømt kaptajn og overstyrmand på den 176.269 DWT store bulkcarrier Sea Coen bøder på hhv. 40.000 og 35.000 australske dollar, efter at skibet i marts forlod en sejlrute i Great Barrier Reef. Der skete ingen skade i forbindelse med hændelsen.

De australske myndigheder overvåger skibstrafikken i det naturfølsomme farvand tæt, og der bliver slået hårdt ned på overtrædelser.

Det sker efter at det kinesiske kulskib Shen Neng 1 i april 2010 sejlede på et koralrev 15 sømil fra den udlagte sejlrute i Great Barrier Reef, efter at overstyrmanden besluttede at slå genvej hen over revet. Ved sammenstødet blev der revet hul på skibets bund, og fire tons fuelolie flød ud

i det sårbare havmiljø.

Skibets ejer blev efterfølgende idømt en bøde på 40 millioner australske dollar, mens såvel kaptajn som overstyrmand blev idømt store bøder. Redaktionen
