2025年3月7日星期五，一艘受制裁的美国油轮在伊斯坦布尔附近与一艘集装箱船相撞，造成结构损坏，其中一个压载舱泄漏。

这艘名为“米娅”的船只是所谓的“影子舰队”的一部分，当它被土耳其拥有的“奥里塔”号撞击时，停泊在离岸约五英里处。这一事件被录像并在土耳其电视台播出。

“米娅”号是一艘149,686载重吨的油轮，当一艘130米长，8000载重吨的集装箱船“奥里塔”号在操纵时与“米娅”号接触时，“米娅”号处于静止状态。

“奥里塔”号于2005年建造，在巴拿马注册，由一家土耳其公司管理。AIS跟踪数据显示，这艘集装箱船当时正在前往罗马尼亚苏利纳的途中，但事故发生后，该船一直停泊在那里。



目击者称，“奥里塔”在转弯时撞到了“米娅”号。在那之后，“米娅”号的一个压载舱被戳破，导致污水排放。

虽然土耳其海岸警卫队证实泄漏的不是石油，但仍被视为污染物。

第一艘抵达的救援船是Uzmar从Marport操作的拖船Efes 10。在当局评估局势的同时，它确保了该地区的安全。随后，来自海岸安全总局的大型拖船“Rescue 2”也加入了救援行动。

“米娅”号的船员试图用紧急补丁来阻止受损压载舱的泄漏。与此同时，土耳其海岸警卫队开始检查“奥里塔”号，以确定对这艘集装箱船的影响程度。

据报道，“奥里塔”号在碰撞中受到了明显的损坏。

“米娅”号的所有权和运营背景仍然未知。这艘油轮在一家位于塞舌尔的公司名下，没有上市管理层，自2014年以来没有接受过检查。

美国于2024年对该船进行了制裁，声称该船在圭亚那国旗下虚假注册。圭亚那当局否认有任何联系，称其登记处已关闭，不包括该船。

美国官员怀疑“米娅”号过去曾以不同的身份行事，可能使用了Magus和Freedom等名字。土耳其当局没有发表任何官方声明。

英文原文

A sanctioned US tanker was struck by a container ship near Istanbul on Friday, March 7, 2025, causing structural damage and a leak from one of its ballast tanks.



The vessel, Mia, part of the so-called shadow fleet, was anchored approximately five miles offshore when it was hit by the Turkish-owned Orita.  The incident was captured on video and aired on Turkish television.



The Mia, a 149,686 dwt tanker, was stationary when the Orita, a 130-meter long, 8,000 dwt containership, made contact with it while maneuvering.



The Orita, built in 2005 and registered in Panama, is managed by a Turkish company.  AIS tracking data showed that the containership was on its way to Sulina, Romania, but it has since been held at anchor after the incident.



Eyewitnesses say that Orita struck the Mia while turning.  After which, Mia suffered a puncture in one of its ballast tanks, leading to a discharge of contaminated water.



While the Turkish Coast Guard confirmed that the leakage was not oil, it was still considered a pollutant.



The first response vessel to arrive was the tug Efes 10, operated by Uzmar from Marport.  It secured the area while authorities assessed the situation.  Later, the large tug Rescue 2, from the General Directorate of Coastal Safety, joined the efforts.



The crew of Mia attempted an emergency patch to stop the leakage from the damaged ballast tank.  Meanwhile, the Turkish Coast Guard began examining Orita to determine the extent of the impact on the container ship.



Per reports, the Orita sustained visible damage from the collision.



The ownership and operational background of Mia is still unknown.  The tanker is registered under a Seychelles-based company, has no listed management, and has not undergone an inspection since 2014.



The US sanctioned the vessel in 2024, claiming that it was falsely registered under Guyana’s flag.  Guyanese authorities denied any connection, stating that their registry is closed and does not include the vessel.



US officials suspect that Mia has operated under different identities in the past, possibly using names such as Magus and Freedom.  No official statement has been made by the Turkish authorities.
