Dexinhai Freighter ???? The Ministry of Transportation of the German New Sea Freighter

The report sent back to the company by the "Dexinhai" cargo ship at 12 o'clock on the 18th showed that there were more than 700 tons of fuel oil and 150 tons of fresh water on the ship; The daily necessities such as rice and flour on the ship are stored sufficiently to meet the daily needs of the crew. According to Zhuo Li, deputy director of the general duty office of the China Maritime Search and Rescue Center, under normal sailing conditions, the ship consumes about 25 to 30 tons of fuel and about 8 tons of water per day. The ship was put into service in 2008 and was loaded with about 10,000 tons, and the voyage was close to full load, with low freeboard and slow speed, making it easy to be boarded by pirates.

According to the three aspects, it can be basically judged that the crew and ship of the "Dexinhai" should be in a safe state at present.

First, judging by the statement of the spokesman of the EU Navy in the UK. In an interview with Xinhua News Agency on the 19th, John Haber, spokesman for the EU Navy in the UK, said that when the EU Navy sent a maritime patrol plane to confirm the location of the hijacked ship, it was found that at least four pirates were on deck, and the hijacked ship was moving westward towards the Somali coast. The 25 Chinese crew members are currently safe and not in danger of life.

The second is to judge according to precedent. As can be seen from previous cases of merchant ships being hijacked by pirates, the pirates were aiming for ransom and did not harm the crew during the voyage.

The third is to judge according to the oil and water storage on board. As of 12 o'clock on October 18, the oil and water stored on the ship can be used for the ship to sail continuously for about one month, and there will be no shortage of oil and water on the ship at present. The food on board is also relatively sufficient, which can meet the daily needs of the crew.
