Nueva explosión en un barco en un puerto saudí

 Publicado el 15/12/2020 por Caroline Britz

Después del petrolero griego Agrari, probablemente golpeado a fines de noviembre por una mina en el Terminal saudí de Al Shuqaiq, es el BW Rhine, del grupo danés-singapurense Hafnia que sufrió una explosión en el puerto de Jeddah. Un incendio, que fue rápidamente controlado, estalló a bordo, pero no se reportaron heridos entre los miembros de la tripulación. Posible contaminación puede haber escapado de la brecha en el casco del quimiquero. Inmediatamente después del incidente, la coalición liderada por Arabia Saudita contra la rebelión Houti anunció que se trataba de un intento de ataque de rebeldes yemeníes desde un barco cargado de explosivos. .

The Shipowners’ Club provides P&I insurance for smaller and specialised vessels around the world, including those that engage in towage operations on a daily basis. It is while involved in this activity that incidents resulting in damage, injury or even death may occur. After an analysis of the claims notified to the Club over a two year period it was observed that 53% of all towage related claims were due to primary cause, ‘human factor’, with the initial claim being attributable to poor maintenance, crew negligence, sub-standard navigation, as well as inadequate operational and safety procedures. It is hoped, therefore, that training will assist in the avoidance or reduction of these incidents. This booklet has been produced to assist in raising awareness of some of the practical aspects of a towage operation with a view to assisting mariners who may not be fully familiar with these processes.

As China’s military intimidation of Taiwan intensifies, experts are increasingly warning of a possible Chinese attack and the potential danger in the Taiwan Strait. Considering the language Chinese media use regarding measures to “punish Taiwan,” there is now an urgent need to consider China’s possible engagement in some sort of military action against Taiwan.

At present, it is improbable that the PLA would attempt to actually land troops and occupy the island of Taiwan, because the probability of a successful military operation with minimum casualties for China is low. However, China has other options, one of which would be to apply pressure on or capture the Pratas
