Suez blockage ends, but Indian crew may face legal charges

苏伊士运河阻塞结束，印度船员或面临指控

HYDERABAD: With the container ship ‘Ever Given’ that had blocked the Suez Canal since March 23 wrenched free from the sandy bank by tug boats on Monday, the next big concern for its crew comprising 25 Indians is how the Suez Canal Authority will treat them.

海德拉巴：自3月23日以来阻塞苏伊士运河的一艘集装箱船于周一脱困，由拖船拉出，巨轮上的25名印度船员面临的下一个重大担忧是苏伊士运河管理局将如何对待他们。

Both the Indian government and the seafarers’ organisations are concerned about the legal issues that the crew may face, including the possibility of criminal charges.

印度政府和海员组织都担心船员可能面临的法律问题，包括可能面临的刑事指控。

According to sources in the ship industry, one of the possibilities is that the captain and some of the crew may be restrained from travelling further.

航运业的消息来人士称，其中一种可能是船长和一些船员可能会被限制继续航行。

They could be placed under house arrest until investigation is completed into the cause of the accident. The ship management, however, has not explained anything about the legal procedures the crew will have to go through.

在事故原因调查完成之前，他们可能会被软禁。然而，船舶管理部门并没有解释有关法律规定的程序。

“There is a clear danger that the crew will be made scapegoats,” a senior person associated with the ship industry said.

一位航运业资深人士表示:“ 船员显然有被当作替罪羊的危险。”

Captain Sanjay Prashar, member, National Ship Board (NSB), told TOI, “Firstly, it has to be ascertained as to how the giant ship ran aground. Facts can be checked by examining and listening to conversation in the ship voyage data recorder and one can come to an understanding as to what caused the mishap.”

印度国家航运委员会(NSB)成员Sanjay Prashar船长对《印度时报》说，“首先，必须查明这艘巨轮是如何搁浅的。通过检查和收听船舶航行数据记录仪中的对话，可以核实事实，从而了解事故的原因。”

‘Ever Given’ got stuck in the crucial Suez Canal on March 23, leading to a massive traffic jam. This resulted in more than 350 vessels — carrying everything from cattle, clothes to crude oil and furniture — getting stranded on both sides.

3月23日，“长赐号”被困在至关重要的苏伊士运河，导致了严重的交通堵塞。这导致350多艘船只被困在两岸，船上装载着牲畜、衣服、原油和家具等各种物品。

Ggrrrr

This may not be a criminal case. Why blame ? Blaming others is the Indian tradition.

这可能不算刑事案件。为什么要责怪? 印度人就这么喜欢指责别人吗

Ankit Mathur

It costed the whole world 90 Billion dollars. I think proper investigation is required and if they find captain and crew are at fault, then they should be punished. Govt of India should send delegates to ensure fair investigation.

给全世界造成900亿美元的损失。我认为应当展开调查，如果发现船长和船员有错，那他们应该受到惩罚。印度政府应该派出代表参与，确保调查公平

The Middle

I read that once the ship enters the canal, the Suez pilots take over and guide the ship to the other side. If yes, how are are crew responsible?

一旦船进入运河，苏伊士运河的引航员会接管并把船引导到另一边。为什么要船员负责?

scotchoholic

If our PM intervene in the issue then it's good. But for that the captain must be a gujrati.

如果我们的总理介入这个问题，那是好事。如果他介入，那船长肯定是古吉拉特人。

Prasant Pokarnaa

See the Title of this news page "Indian Crew may face legal action" the Idiotic, paid, "English" International Media never leaves any chance to malign India. There was a natural force of high winds due to which the ship got stuck. Mr. Journalist stop maligning Indians and if you are an Indian shame on you.

外国媒体从不放过任何诋毁印度的机会。一股强风吹来，船被困住了。记者先生，别再诋毁印度人了，如果你是印度人，那就太可耻了。

My understanding is during the passage of the canal the ship is under the command of the pilots who are supposed to have the expertise in knowing the layout of the canal and how to navigate around it. If anybody is responsible its these pilots. The captain has very little or no role during the passage of the canal.

我的理解是，在船通过运河的过程中，船是由领航员指挥的，领航员应该掌握运河航行的专业知识。

如果有人要对此负责，那就是这些领航员的错。

在船舶通过运河的过程中，船长几乎不扮演任何角色。

OMG any where you go you find INDIANS.

天啊，无论哪里，都有印度人。

Ramesh Xyz

Funny to talk about criminal charges! Is there a criminal case filed for every Air crash? With out even doing investigation, it's unfair to blame the crew.

谈论刑事指控真有趣!

每次发生空难，机组人员都会面临刑事诉讼吗?

连调查都没做就指责印度船员，这是不公平的。

Why the blame on the Indian Captain and crew when the Egyptian Pilot was on board navigating the Ship

当时是埃及领航员在驾驶船上，为什么要怪印度船长和船员

Indian

As per the documentaries in the Discovery/Natgeo on Suez canal its the responsibility of the Suez authority appointed captain to steer the ship safely from the canal. The original ship captain and crew doesn't have any responsibility except assisting the suez captain. So no threat or fear. Author should study and write the articles instead of just creating fear.

根据《发现》和《国家地理》关于苏伊士运河的纪录片，苏伊士管理局有责任任命新的船长安全驾驶船只离开运河。原船长和船员除协助苏伊士船长外，不承担任何责任。

Nikhil

Seems like the Incompetent Captain will face the music. Unfortunately Jugaad will not work outside India. Let it be a lesson for some incompetent Indians who always get away with murder and spoil everyones’s name in the bargain.

看来那位无能的船长要承担后果了。可惜小聪明在国外不起作用啊。

给了一些无能的印度人的一个教训，他们在国内总是能逃脱惩罚

Sam

Why speculate? When the investigation is on, let's wait for the results. Safe passage through the canal is the responsibility of the pilot assigned by suez canal authority and the tug boat crew as well as the ships crew. There are other factors, winds, technical malfunctions etc.

为什么作此推断?

调查开始了，我们就等待结果吧。

安全通过运河是由苏伊士运河管理局指定的引航员和拖轮船员以及船舶船员的责任。

还有其他因素，风，技术故障等。

Manu R

The poor Captain and his Chief Officer are in deep trouble.

可怜的船长和他的大副现在有麻烦了。

Govindan Nair

However, captain being the in charge of shop, why entire crew to be rounded up. Except captain, others should be sent to their home country after recording their statement.

既然船长是负责人，为什么全体船员都要被捕。除船长外，应在录完口供后将其他人员送回国。

Egyptians are looking for a scape goats.
