The Indonesian government faces allegations of unlawfully detaining three Indian seafarers from a stranded ship. These seafarers have been placed under house arrest to pressure the ship operator to secure compensation for the vessel's removal.
印尼政府面临非法扣留一艘搁浅船上三名印度海员的指控。这些海员已被印尼政府软禁,印尼政府的目的是向船舶经营人施压,要求其为清理船舶获得赔偿。
2月10日,载重吨位为5000载重吨的“MT AASHI”号货船在从迪拜向印度尼西亚运送1900吨沥青时遇到了恶劣的天气状况。在意识到船因船体破裂而进水后,船员们向印尼当局寻求许可,将船停泊在尼亚斯群岛附近。随后,所有20名船员弃船而去。船上的沥青污染了周围海域,印尼当局已经清理了周围海域。
However, the ship continued to take in water, leading to its tilt and eventual submersion of approximately 80%. On February 24th, 17 crew members were repatriated, while the remaining three individuals, namely Captain Sanjeev Kumar, Chief Engineer Sanjay Kumar Pandey, and Chief Officer Siyab Salam, were asked to stay behind for an investigation.
然而,该船继续进水,导致其倾斜和最终沉没约80%。2月24日,17名船员被遣返,而其余3人,即船长Sanjeev Kumar、轮机长Sanjay Kumar Pandey和大副Siyab Salam被要求留下来接受船舶搁浅的事故调查。
Following this, the passports of these three crew members were confiscated, and Indonesian authorities, including local police, the coast guard, and port authorities, took all investigative documents. Although the investigation found several deficiencies on the ship and stated that the ship was not seaworthy when it sailed, it also revealed that none of the detained individuals were responsible for any environmental damage resulting from the ship's grounding.
随后,这3名船员的护照被没收,当地警察、海岸警卫队、港口当局等印尼当局没收了所有调查资料。虽然调查发现了船上的一些缺陷,并指出该船在航行时不适合航行,但它暗示被拘留的船员们对船舶搁浅造成的任何环境破坏负责。
The Indonesian government, however, has continued to hold these men under house arrest in a hotel on Nias Island for the past seven months. The ship's operator, Aashi Shipping, based in Liberia, has declared the vessel a total loss. A virtual meeting held on June 4th regarding the release of the crew members was not attended by the owner or the technical manager of the vessel.
然而,印尼政府在过去七个月里继续将这些船员软禁在尼亚斯岛的一家酒店里。这艘船的运营商,总部设在利比里亚的Aashi航运公司宣布这艘船完全沉没。6月4日举行的关于释放船员的虚拟会议,没有船东或该船技术经理参加。
The Indian embassy in Jakarta is urging Indonesian authorities to resolve the matter and release the seafarers, emphasizing that the salvage and cleanup of the sunken vessel are unrelated to the actions of these seafarers.
印度驻雅加达大使馆敦促印尼当局解决此事,释放最后的3名船员,并强调沉船的打捞和清理工作与这些海员的行为无关。
