2003 vessel to be recycled at Esbjerg

The Danish recycler Smedegaarden has purchased the German multipurpose container vessel Mv S Gabriel, it’s the youngest vessel ever to be recycled at the Danish plant. S. Gabriel was delivered in September 2003 from Wuhan, China. She was sold to Smedegaarden due to an extensive hull damage caused by a serious grounding off the Azores earlier this year. S. Gabriel has been laid up at Bremerhaven and was towed to Esbjerg by Em. Z. Svitzer’s tug Bestla. S. Gabriel has a length of 100 metres and a beam of 16.4 metres and is fitted with a MAN/B&W main engine. Originally, the vessel had two identical deck cranes, but one was taken ashore by the previous owner as spare parts. Smedegaarden has just finished the recycling of the former passenger vessel Wappen von Hamburg, built in 1966.

Blast kills 4 workers at Bangladesh yard

Four workers died and another suffered critical burns in an explosion on Jan 17 at a ship-breaking yard in Sitakunda during scrapping a tanker that entered the country violating the High Court's directive.

The cause of the explosion at Mak Corporation Ship-Breaking Yard could not be known immediately.Worker who was near the scene said the explosion occurred while dismantling a fuel tank. Locals said the explosion was so huge that it could be heard from two miles away. Three workers were admitted to Chittagong Medical College Hospital with severe burns around 2:00pm and two of them died, said Dr Mohammad Ayub, head of Burns and Plastic Surgery Unit, CMCH. The injured worker is undergoing treatment with 50 percent burns. Another victim with minor injury was released after giving first aid, doctors said. Bodies of two more workers were found later on board of dismantled vessel, Indian tanker Pranam IMO 8321383, dwt 50600, built 1984.

Casualties at the Sitakunda ship-breaking yards are frequent and some even remain unreported at times. The owners have yet to take adequate safety measures despite the HC orders, exposing hundreds of workers to life risk. The MAK Corporation imported the exploded Pranam (IMO registration 8321383) along with two other ships Sea Pearl and Norsul at the end of 2010. Though the DoE was served legal notice for violating the court order, it let Kashem to import those ships.
