Japansk minsvepare skadad i kollision med lastfartyg

[Perman]

Inga skadade dock som det verkar. Kollisionen inträffade mitt i natten utanför hamnen i Mihara i södra Japan. Förmodligen är det fråga om s. k. 'glancing blow'. Hade lastfartyget träffat mitt på sidan så hade fartyget förmodligen kantrat och utgången varit en helt annan. Notojima är ett av tolv fartyg i Sugashima-klassen på 599 ton fl som kom i tjänst 1999-07. Jane's klassar dem som minjaktfartyg, och de är en något större och förbättrad version av Uwajima-klassen från mitten av 90-talet. Navigationsutrustningen slogs ut på Notojima efter kollisionen och hon bogseras nu till ön Innoshima.

The Japan Maritime Self Defense Force (MSDF) minesweeper Ukushima has sunk after experiencing a persistent engine fire, according to reports from officials from the 7th Regional Coast Guard. The Coast Guard received a call from the vessel around 9:40am Sunday local time (0040 GMT).

The Ukushima, which left a base in Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture, on a routine training mission on Sunday, was conducting a drill en route to Kagoshima Prefecture and was sailing some 2.5km off Oshima Island when the call was made.

 

 

Enligt amiralen Akita Saito så är det första gången i fredstid som ett japanskt örlogsfartyg har sjunkit efter en brand.

Just after midnight local time the vessel was reported capsized, extinguishing the fire. It was subsequently described as being sunk when just the bow remained visible above the surface.

Admiral Saito confirmed that the MSDF had never previously had a warship sunk due to fire. He also said a board of inquiry would be set up to investigate the cause of the fire.

JS Ukushima var det sjätte fartyget i en serie på tolv minsvepare av Sugasima-klassen som beställdes på 90- och 00-talen. Fartygen kom i tjänst från 1999 till 2007. De ersatte Uwajima-klassen från början av 90-talet, och har därefter kompletterats med Harishima-klassens tre enheter. Fartygen är byggda i trä och tonnaget är 599 ton fl. JFS klassar Sugashima-klassen som minjaktfartyg.

Japan minesweeper sinks after catching fire; 1 crew member still missing
 

The minesweeper, carrying a crew of about 40, reported a fire in the engine room to the 7th Regional Coast Guard Headquarters in Fukuoka Prefecture around 9:40 a.m. Sunday when it was sailing some 2.5 kilometers off Oshima Island in the prefecture.

Another MSDF minesweeper, the Toyoshima, which joined the coast guard in the fire-fighting and rescue operation, reported around 2 p.m. that the fire on the Ukushima was contained, but a flare-up was confirmed later.

The Ukushima's crew had completed evacuation to the Toyoshima by around 3:45 p.m., but an engine room crewman, later identified as 33-year-old petty officer 3rd class Tatsunori Koga, was found not to be present.

One crewman in his 20s who suffered a non-life-threatening injury was taken to hospital.

At the time of the incident, Koga and the crew member who was sent to the hospital were on duty in the engine room, where the fire is believed to have started.
