据罗马尼亚海军管理局称，罗马尼亚救援人员已启动密集搜索行动，寻找5月18日凌晨在黑海沿岸沉没的货船上失踪的三名船员。

悬挂坦桑尼亚国旗的货船Mohammad Z号在距离罗马尼亚多瑙河村庄Sfantu georghe 26海里处沉没。

该船共有11名船员，其中9名是叙利亚人，2名是埃及人。

海上救援协调中心与边防警察和两艘邻近商船合作，于凌晨4时左右开始搜救行动。

最近的商船米歇尔号在营救八名船员方面发挥了关键作用。

然而，目前仍在努力寻找其余三名失踪的船员，他们都是叙利亚公民。

海军当局表示，8名获救的船员被疏散到Michel商船上，这是MRCC协调下离现场最近的船只。



他补充说，目前正在努力寻找剩下的三名船员。

据报道，其中一名获救船员受伤，被送往罗马尼亚康斯坦察的一家医院接受治疗。

沉船的确切原因尚不清楚。

自2022年2月俄罗斯乌克兰战争以来，由于漂流的水雷，黑海变得越来越危险。

来自罗马尼亚、保加利亚和土耳其的军事潜水队正在努力拆除漂入其海域的水雷。

搜索中还派遣了额外的资源，包括一架罗马尼亚空军直升机和罗马尼亚海上遇险救援和救生机构的两艘救援船，即阿波罗号和阿尔忒弥斯号。

两艘边防巡逻艇也参与了救援工作。

土耳其拥有的载重吨位为3425吨的“Mohammad Z”号船离开伊斯坦布尔前往罗马尼亚的苏里纳。

根据埃及最近的一次港口检查，该船存在安全灯故障和救生圈维护不足等问题。

保加利亚、格鲁吉亚、罗马尼亚、俄罗斯、土耳其和乌克兰与黑海接壤，黑海是粮食、石油和产品运输的重要海上航线。

“Mohammad Z”号的沉没凸显了该地区海域的持续风险，乌克兰危机使这种风险进一步恶化。

获救的船员正在协助调查沉船的确切原因。

Romanian rescue workers initiated an intensive search operation in search of three missing crew members from a cargo ship that sank off the coast of the Black Sea on the early morning of May 18, 2024, according to the country’s naval administration.

Mohammad Z, a Tanzanian-flagged cargo ship, was sunken 26 nautical miles from Sfantu Gheorghe, a Danube village in Romania.

The ship consisted of 11 crew members, of which nine were Syrians and two were Egyptians.

The Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC), in collaboration with the border police and two neighbouring commercial vessels, initiated the search and rescue operation at approximately 4 a.m.

The nearest commercial vessel, Michel, played a crucial role in rescuing eight crew members.

However, efforts are still underway to locate the remaining three missing crew members, all of whom are Syrian nationals.

The naval authority stated that the eight rescued crew members were evacuated onboard the commercial vessel Michel, which was the nearest vessel to the site under MRCC coordination.

He added that efforts are underway to find the three remaining crew members.

One of the rescued crew members was reported to have suffered injuries and was transported to a hospital in Constanta, Romania, for treatment.

The exact cause of the sinking is still unknown.

The Black Sea has become increasingly dangerous due to drifting mines since Russia’s full-fledged invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

Military diving teams from Romania, Bulgaria, and Turkey are working diligently to defuse mines that have drifted into their seas.

Additional resources were dispatched in the search, including a Romanian Air Force helicopter and two rescue vessels from the Romanian Agency for Rescue and Life-Saving in Maritime Distress (ARSVOM), namely Apollo and Artemis.

Two border police boats also assisted in the rescue efforts.

The Mohammad Z, a Turkish-owned vessel with a deadweight tonnage (dwt) of 3,425, had left Istanbul en route to Sulina in Romania.

According to a recent port inspection in Egypt, the vessel had problems such as malfunctioning safety lamps and insufficiently maintained life buoys.

Bulgaria, Georgia, Romania, Russia, Turkey, and Ukraine border the Black Sea, an important marine route for grain, oil, and product shipments.

The sinking of Mohammad Z highlights the continued risks in the region’s seas, which have been made worse by the crisis in Ukraine.

The rescued crew members are helping to investigate the exact reason for the sinking.
