As a result of flooding in the Far East trawler died 54 sailor, 63-m are on board managed to escape. The exact cause of the tragedy is still unknown, we consider two versions
In the Okhotsk Sea trawler sank “Far East”: 54 sailor killed, 63 people rescued, the fate of another 15 remains unknown. Literally sank in 15 minutes and did not have time to signal SOS. Prosecuted under violation of safety rules. Yet announced two versions of the tragedy. The Investigative Committee said that, it may crash, because of which there is damage to the body in the area of the engine room. In this case, the MOE called basic version tipping keel as a result of lifting 80-ton seine.
Trawler “Far East “refers to a type of large freezer trawlers. The current name of the trawler was in 2014. Previously it was called Stende. Vessel length of 104 meters, width – 16 meters, displacement – more than 5,500 tons of load capacity – more than half a million tons.
The vessel was built in 1989 in Nikolaevsk-on-Amur, but in recent years working abroad. Its purpose – fishing trawls and processing on board. The ship is actually a floating plant where the fish is cut, sometimes can and even make fishmeal.
On these trawlers are set manufacturing refrigeration units total daily output of about 150 tons. In November 2014 the trawler returned to Russia. His ice class LU2 can operate in open ice non-Arctic seas.
During the flooding water temperature in the northern Sea of Okhotsk ranged from 0 to 2 degrees. At this temperature, the man in the lifejacket can stay afloat in the minds of 15-30 minutes, after which the death occurs in about half an hour.
Now the search operation continues, told Business FM representative of Ministry of Emergency Situations for Kamchatka region Tatiana Yuhmanova.
«On board were 132 crew members are citizens of Russia, Latvia, Ukraine, Burma and the state of Vanuatu. Near the site of the incident are 26 fishing vessels for lifting bodies and live on board their vessels. In all ships are physicians who provide first aid. Among them there are people in serious condition “, – explained Yuhmanova.
Life News Source in the company shipowner suggested that the captain gave the wrong order: the sailors to take on board the full sweep, he slid down the deck, gave the ship strong roll, and has committed rollover. Earlier version sounded that the vessel might stumble upon a drifting ice floe, get the hole and go to the bottom.
For details on the air Business FM said editor in chief of the newspaper “Kamchatka Time Zone” Eugene Sivaev.
What is known at this time?
Eugene Sivaev : Version on the holes now considered a major. Ship gave no signals, it certainly crew error, because at seven o’clock in the morning it was clear that he will sink, well, that were near the ships. We know that it was near about 20 ships. First came “Granite”, which raised 26 people and eight dead bodies, “Ivan Kalinin” raised two live, “Victoria-1″ – 15 people dead, “Alex Cherkov” – three living and one dead body. The ship is 300 km from Krutoberegovo, this is the village of Kamchatka, to which there are no roads or other ways at the moment. Most likely, people will take a helicopter to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.
It is reported that the ship sank in 15 minutes, just could not make it to signal SOS.
Eugene Sivaev : In fact, the signal shall be also automatically have the so-called beacons. But the fact is that here every second is important because people can not survive long in this water, especially as the sea state was one and a half meters, you could just drown.
That is a storm, we can say?
Eugene Sivaev : This is not a storm, it’s excitement. In general, the Sea of Okhotsk quite severe. This one might even say, calm for him.
The weather conditions were normal for this area?
Eugene Sivaev : Yes, probably, so the captain decided to cope on their own.
A version of the likely rollover when picked seine how close to the truth?
Eugene Sivaev : I did not a fisherman, but I can say that BATM – a fairly reliable court, and they work more than a dozen years. These catches are normal, so tipping vessel longer than 100 meters – is unlikely. It is my guess.
The ice floe – quite probable version, a lot of them in this area?
Eugene Sivaev : Yes. There winter lasts until late May.
In the desk told Nevelsky port “rain” that the ship was built in 1989 in Nikolaevsk-on-Amur, but in recent years worked abroad. In November 2014 the trawler returned to Russia. His ice class LU2 can operate in open ice non-Arctic seas. The owner of the vessel, the company “Magellan”, argues that the “Far East” is undergoing renovations in late 2014, and was fully prepared for the flight, reports RIA “Novosti».
