[전국]Korea Chemiho “It is difficult to understand the reason for the capture”

[앵커]

The shipping company that manages the captured Korea Chemie is focusing on understanding the situation, such as sending an insurance agent agent to the local area.

A shipping company in Busan insisted that the Korean Chemie did not invade Iran’s territorial waters and that there was no pollution.

It is said that there is no direct contact with the crew yet.

The Iranian side argued that the reason for the seizure was that it repeatedly violated marine environmental regulations.

What is the position of the ship management company on this?

There was no such problem, and even if there was, it drew a line that the Iranian government could not intervene.

The ship management company insisted that the Iranian government does not have the authority to seize our ships because it was captured on the high seas.

Even if there was an environmental pollution problem, it is not Iranian territorial waters, so it is a problem for international organizations to investigate.

The Korea Chemi Ferry passed the course about four months ago, but the Iranian side has yet to come up with a detailed explanation of the allegations that it has repeatedly violate maritime regulations.

The company’s position is that the possibility of marine pollution claimed by the Iranian side is slim as the ship safety inspection was completed three months ago.

This is because chemical carriers are so difficult to inspect that corrosion alone requires replacement.

The Korean Chemi, which left Saudi Arabia yesterday, loaded with N-butyl acrylate and methanol, was captured by Iranian Revolutionary Guard soldiers on the high seas around 3:30 pm yesterday.

At the time, the track record, that is, the ship’s movement, did not invade the territorial waters, but Iranian soldiers asked to get on the ship and sail toward Iran.

An official from the company said that the fact that the Korean Chemie was moved at full speed toward Iran was suspicious of any other purpose.

Including the captain, 5 Korean sailors and 15 foreign sailors are on board.

Currently, the company has lost contact with the company, and it is estimated that the crew will continue to stay on board due to the current Corona 19 situation.

The company is planning to send an agent from the insurance company to the local to learn about the environmental pollution problem and the health of the crew, which Iran is alleging.
