【逆天】 西非海盗集火攻击超大型LNG运输船!
3月9日,一艘运力超过17万立方米的超大型LNG运输船在几内亚水域的Bonny湾遭遇海盗,被火力袭击!无知者无畏!人最大的悲剧就是死都不知道是怎么死的!(LNG运输船属于海上危化品运输工具,如果满载发生意外,结果很可能是如下图这样的:一艘 16 万立方米的LNG船满载时所储存的LNG总能量约是广岛原子弹的70倍,一旦爆炸,后果你猜!)
据悉,这艘LNG船名为LA MANCHA KNUTSEN,遇袭当时正航行于尼日利亚Harcourt港南面约90海里的海面,具体经纬度为0303N 006 57E。事件中,一艘载有携带武器的人员的快艇驶近该液货船,并且朝该船开火试图拦截,以期登船。见此情形,该船启动保安警报系统,提高航速并且采用特殊操纵方式。幸运的是,这伙海盗最终放弃了袭击,悻悻离去。事件没有造成人员伤亡和明显的船舶损坏。据了解,该船此行未配有专业的安保人员。该船后来开往Bonny港。
资料显示,液化天然气运输船LA MANCHA KNUTSEN于2016年在韩国现代重工建造,入籍西班牙,长284米,宽46米,114000总吨,载重吨为81605吨,能装载173656m³液化天然气。其船东为挪威财团Trygve Seglem 和日本NYK,目前由Knutsen OAS 航运公司运营。
