На форуме не нашел подобного, если было то снесу.
Причина посадки на мель, если вкратце, то срач индуса мастера с арабом лоцманом.
Лоцман попросил блок сигарет (такая практика), индус отказал. Это был уже третий лоцман с момента входа.
Ниже выдержка из стейтмента капитана, правда на аглицком.
Statement of Ever Given Master:
Please note the below incident which occurred during vessel’s Suez Canal Transit (Southbound) on 11 Mar’21.
Vessel picked up the first Pilot at 0424hrs before Canal entry and entered the Suez Canal (Port Said side) at 0530hrs.
Before disembarking, the pilot requested for Ciggarettes which was politely declined by master stating the zero corruption policy implemented on board as per charterers. The pilot disembarked thereafter.
First Pilot change (at Canal Entry) was from 0526hrs to 0534hrs.
The 2nd pilot (Capt. Khaled) who barded the vessel was on board till Ismalia.
The pilot was seeming a bit anxious during manoeuvring and on a few occasions tried to call out the helmsman for steering courses 0.2 degrees more than required. Master was present at all times and at no point did the helmsman execute a wrong helm order nor was any issue with vessel’s steering noted.
Before disembarking the pilot requested for Cigarettes which was politely declined by master stating the zero corruption policy implemented on board as per charterers.
Second Pilot change at Ismalia from 1005hrs to 1013hrs.
The 3rd pilot (Capt. Khalied Mohammed Hussain Hassane – ID No.1721201) after boarding the vessel exchanged a few words with the pilot who was disembarking (in their local language) as is the general practice in Suez.
He refused to exchange pleasentaries with the Master and immediately after the 2nd pilot disembarked he said -
Quote- “Captain, please take the ship and navigate through the canal. I am only here to assist and advise you as per Suez Canal rules.” -Unquote
When questioned regarding what he meant by the same and if he will be giving helm orders and courses to steer, he said that master was fully responsible for the same and navigating through the canal. The pilots job was only to observe and advise as required.
Please note that while this exchange was happening, the vessel was still underway in the convoy, passing bends and turns in the canal for which the helm orders were being given by Master.
In the next 15-20 mins whilst manoeuvring through the canal, the pilot was politely, sternly and diplomatically requested to co-operate however he kept saying that the Master is supposed to handle the vessel. Additionally he said that the last pilot has handed over to him regarding issue with vessel’s steering, hence he will only observe.
He was assured by Master that their was no issue with the vessel’s steering, something he could have observed in the 20 mins he had been on board; however he refused to co-operate.
At that moment my focus as master was the safety of the vessel and the safe navigation (without any assistance from the pilot), alongwith ensuring the Bridge Team does not get distracted and therefore could not indulge in any detailed argument with the pilot.
After about 20 mins of navigating through the canal (Near Ismalia) in an area where there were continous alterations and no steady course, with the pilot not giving any helm orders, and trying to harass the Master & vessel, the pilot was told that the matter will be reported to Ismalia Port Control.
As soon as the master picked up the VHF and called Ismalia Port Control on Ch8, the pilot raised his volume high, started shouting, snatched the VHF from the master’s hand (which also resulted in advertently pushing the Master) and threatened that if same was reported “It will not be good for the vessel”.
At that very moment, in his raised volume he called for fwd and aft stations and for both anchors to be lowered to water level, as he insisted on stopping the vessel and arresting vessel for faulty steering. He said vessel will be held at Bitter lake until sea trials were carried out.
Fwd station was immediately manned however anchors were not lowered as ship was doing 9 knots speed.
По неофициальной информации, там весь мостик был индусы.
Походу надо внести поправки. Поторопился с постом. Это стейтмент по пути вниз, т.е. из Средиземки в Индийский, (Southbound), да и дата 11 марта 2021 сама за себя говорит.
Теперь пару слов о деталях. Там лоцман предьявы делал на то, что с рулевой машиной не все благополучно. Походу тогда скандал замяли, а на обратном пути, таки напомнили индусу, что он не прав. Как дело было, не знаю, но вряд ли индус-капитан, был радостно встречен арабами. Видать припомнили ему предыдущий рейс.
И пару слов от себя. Индусы разные бывают, но в морской среде их мало кто терпит. Мудачье еще то в общей массе. При этом мне часто встречались приличные парни, которым можно доверять.
P.S. Если что от коллег свежее появится, то или поправлю этот пост или же в ответах выложу.
