13 月 XNUMX 日星期六,一艘红海潜水船宿在厨房发生火灾后不得不撤离。
据 23 名客人中的一位透露,该船在离开赫尔格达之前或之后都没有进行任何安全简报。他们身上只留下了很少的财产。
小舟 海外留学 (以前 潜水城据船上的英国客人之一本·洛 (Ben Low) 介绍,该船的 23 名船员是从一家名为阿拉姆港加利布潜水员公司 (Port Ghalib Divers of Marsa Alam) 的公司租来的,以进行红海北部珊瑚礁和沉船行程。这XNUMX人的团队包括法国、印度、俄罗斯和土耳其潜水员,他们还聘请了自己的埃及潜水向导。
延迟出发后,游船将启程 90 分钟前往第一个潜水地点。 “大约 45 分钟后,我们看到轻微的白烟从厨房向船头冒出,并闻到燃烧的食用油的味道,”洛告诉 Divernet。 “没有船员和我们说话——他们只是带着一个小灭火器和一桶水消失在甲板下面。
“接下来我们就知道,烟雾又浓又黑,火焰吞没了厨房,并从窗户里冒出来——看起来像是水被泼到了食用油的火上。但我们仍然什么也没被告知。
“船长关闭了一台发动机并逆风驾驶,导致大火和浓烟穿过船流向我们船尾的地方。”
洛试图下到下面警告一位在他的小屋里熟睡的朋友,但窒息的烟雾使他撤退。另一位客人不得不向船员喊叫,让他们启动充气艇并疏散船上的人。
洛说,熟睡的客人“非常幸运”能够醒来,并设置了闹钟。 “任何船员都没有试图检查机舱或确保每个人都在场。”据刘特佐称,出发前没有进行任何安全简报,除了单个灭火器外,也没有任何消防安全设备的迹象。
Most of the guests had been wearing only swimwear and only three managed to recover 包袋 with passports, cash, mobiles and other valuables,
渔船船员很快接走了乘客和船员,随后由一艘海军舰艇转移到位于赫尔格达的基地。 “最终一艘消防船到达了,但很快就放弃了灭火——可能太危险或太猛烈,”洛告诉迪弗内特。
他说,在海军基地,这群人没有得到任何信息,而是被关在一个只有“几把椅子、有限的水和一些枣子”的房间里。
最终,他们被英国领事馆代表接走,并得到船只经营者将支付住宿费和报销费用的保证,然后被带到一家酒店。
“It was a run-down building with a few rooms, and no toiletries including paper, towels, lights or air-con,” said Low. “We had to find our own food and water for the first night with the very limited funds saved from the three 包袋, and no contact from the company.”
在潜水导游向经营者投诉后,潜水员最终被转移到 Le Pacha 度假村——“这是一家更好的酒店,那里的工作人员也很棒,”洛说。 “船上一位名叫 Esra 的女士还从她位于赫尔格达的 LC Waikiki 商店捐赠了衣服和鞋子来帮助我们。”
几天后,潜水员得知 海外留学 had been towed back to Hurghada and grounded on a sandbank. According to Low another boat had stayed moored alongside the wreck, and the submerged cabins had been searched by divers, but when he and another guest were taken to the site he said they found opened 包袋 and only a few waterlogged and broken items.
Two passports had been recovered but, according to their owners, they had been in zipped 包袋 with money and other valuables that were missing.
潜水导游后来潜入沉船寻找财产,包括他自己的财产,据报道发现所有的船舱都是空的。
据Low称,船宿运营商Ibrahim Ahmed Galal曾向该集团承诺为这次损失的行程提供赔偿,“但前提是我们签署一份合同,免除他的任何责任”,但他表示他们拒绝这样做。
花了一个多星期的时间,所有客人才被遣返。
“We’d like to warn everyone looking to dive in the Red Sea to take care with whom they book, and to make sure for their own safety that their boat is fit to carry passengers and has fire-fighting and other safety equipment on board – unlike ours,” said Low. Divernet has asked Port Ghalib Divers for comment but has yet to hear back.
