Kusbewoners word afgeraai om skeepsvragsakke met kunsmis, staalluikbedekkings en ander skeepsrommel wat dalk op Weskus-strande suid van Brand-se-baai af kan uitspoel, op te tel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Suid-Afrikaanse maritieme veiligheidsowerheid (Samsa) en die departement van bosbou, visserye en omgewing (DFFE) is besig met opruimingswerk nadat die Ultra Galaxy<\/i>, \u2019n vragskip van Panama, op 9 Julie by Duiwegat, net suid van Brand-se-baai, gestrand het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die skip \u2013 \u2019n 125 m lange vragskip wat in 2008 gebou is \u2013 was ten tyde van sy noodroep op pad na Dar es Salaam in Tanzani\u00eb en het \u2019n vrag kunsmis aan boord gehad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Tebogo Ramatjie, die waarnemende uitvoerende hoof vir Samsa se korporatiewe sake en internasionale betrekkinge, het die skip se bemanning van 18 Filippynse seevaarders die vaartuig met \u2019n reddingsvlot verlaat toe dit gevaarlik begin oorhel het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
N\u00e1 hul noodsein is \u2019n Mayday-sein na nabygele\u00eb vaartuie uitgesaai. Die Fivos<\/i>, die Rio Grande Express <\/i>en die Malachite<\/i>-visserskuit het kom help ten spyte van wind van tot twaalf knope en deinings tussen vyf en ses meter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hulle het die reddingsvlot in die water opgespoor en al 18 seevaarders is in \u2019n geko\u00f6rdineerde reddingsoperasie ongedeerd na die Malachite <\/i>oorgeplaas en na St Helenabaai vervoer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die bemanning het intussen veilig in die Filippyne aangekom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Verlede week se storms het veroorsaak dat die skip se luikbedekkings losgeraak en van die vaartuig af losgekom het, wat die vragruim kwesbaar gelaat het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c \u2019n Beduidende gedeelte van die skip se kunsmisvrag is deur die see meegesleur,\u201d het Ramatjie ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoewel van die luikdeksels weer opgespoor is, is \u2019n navigasiewaarskuwing nogtans uitgereik om ander skepe in die omgewing teen drywende deksels te waarsku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daar word tans daarop gefokus om kunsmissakke wat langs die kuslyn tot in St Helenabaai uitspoel, te verwyder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Omdat verwag word dat die meeste van die kunsmis in die vragsakke dalk al opgelos het, het die DFFE \u2019n omgewingsmoniteringsprogram in werking gestel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie soektog na dryfgoed en ander rommel van die skip sal oor die volgende paar dae uitbrei, aangesien die bergingspersoneel probeer om die goeie weer tussen koue fronte te benut,\u201d het Ramatjie ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is belangrik om behoorlik van enige skeepsrommel ontslae te raak om skade aan mense en die omgewing tot die minimum te beperk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bergingspanne en duikers het ook reeds begin om die gestrande skip se brandstoftenks te verse\u00ebl om te verhoed dat enige van die olie aan boord in die see mors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die strukturele integriteit van die vaartuig word ook ondersoek voordat besluit word hoe om die olie in die wrak te beveilig en die wrak veilig uit die gebied te verwyder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ramatjie het benadruk dat die vragskip op hierdie tydstip geen bedreiging vir die omgewing inhou nie, en dat al die moontlike aangewend word om die situasie te monitor en voorkomende maatre\u00ebls in te stel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Suider-Afrikaanse stigting vir die bewaring van kusvo\u00ebls (Sanccob) bly ook op bystand en is gereed om te reageer indien \u2019n oliestorting sou plaasvind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die verwagting is dat rommel in \u2019n suidelike rigting sal dryf. Lesers wat dalk daarop afkom, word versoek om dit by Samsa se Maritieme Reddingsko\u00f6rdineringsentrum by 021 938 3300 aan te meld.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
