Abakhweli kwiMSC Cruises 'Melody babezimasa phantsi kwesibhakabhaka esineenkwenkwezi ezinzulwini zobusuku xa abaphangi abaxhobileyo kwisikhephe esincinci behlasela iinqanawa zabo zokuhamba ngenqwelomoya kwinyanga ephelileyo kuLwandlekazi lwaseIndiya, kwaye bazama ukukhwela inqanawa ngeleli ezinentambo.
"Yayingumboniso bhanyabhanya," utshilo uRick Sasso, uMongameli weMSC Cruises USA. Abakhweli babephakathi kwabokuqala ukubona abaphangi kwaye bazama nokubathintela ngokulahla ifanitshala yesikhephe kunye nokubaleka ukuya kulumkisa abasebenzi, utshilo.
Inqanawa enabakhweli abangama-2,000 700 yayihamba kufutshane neZiqithi zeSeychelles, malunga neekhilomitha ezingama-XNUMX ukusuka kunxweme lwaseSomalia, emanzini awathi amagosa olwandle aphephe. Ikwazile ukubalekela iipirate.
Kodwa esi siganeko-kunye nabanye abambalwa njengaso kule minyaka idlulileyo-baphakamise umba wokuba iinqanawa zokuhamba ngeenqanawa kufutshane ne-Somalia kufanele ukuba zonyusa amaqhinga okulwa ubuqhetseba okanye ukunqanda loo ndawo kwaphela.
Ngokwembali, abakhweli beenqanawa zokuhamba ngenqanawa kunye nabasebenzi babedlula inani labaphangi abaye bazama ukuqweqwedisa. Iinqanawa zikwanomkhosi wezokhuseleko kwaye zikhawuleza kuneenqanawa zemithwalo, ukuze zikwazi ukuqhuba nokukhawulezisa ukudlula nkqu nabona baphangi banoburhalarhume. Kwaye iinqanawa ezininzi zokuhamba ngeenqanawa zisebenzise ezinye iindlela zokuzikhusela njengokuqhushumba amanzi kwimibhobho yomlilo okanye ukusebenzisa izixhobo ezinikezela amaza esandi esivala iindlebe.
USasso uthe abaphangi banokuthi bathinteke ngokulula kuba uKapteni Ciro Pinto usebenzise ukuqonda kwakhe kwaye wathabatha amanyathelo okhuseleko ngaphambi kokuba aqale uhambo: evumela imipu engephi enqanaweni. Ezo pisto zazigcinwe phantsi kwesitshixo somphathi kunye nesitshixo kude kube sesisongelo seepirate esanyanzelekileyo samnyanzela ukuba ahambise iingalo kumagosa okhuseleko aqeqeshwe ngokukhethekileyo e-Israel, awadubula enganikwanga nto ibisoyikisa abangeneleli.
"Yiyo kuphela indawo ehlabathini apho unokufuna khona olo hlobo lokhuselo olongezelelweyo," utshilo umphathi.
Njengosihlalo we-Cruise Lines International Association, uSasso uthe ukhuseleko lwabakhweli kuhlala kungumba ophambili kumalungu. Nangona kunjalo, umba wokuba iinqanawa zokuhamba ngenqanawa kufanele ukuba zithwele iingalo kwiindlela zaseSomalia kufanelekile kwingxoxo-mpikiswano enkulu, kushishino lonke, utshilo.
Iindlela zokuhamba ezibandakanya iMpuma Afrika sisiqwengana esincinci seshishini kwaye sinokuncipha ngakumbi. Ukusukela ngo-Disemba ka-2008 ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, bekukho i-20 yokuhamba kwale ndawo, ngokwe-CLIA, elandelela kuphela intshukumo yamalungu ayo apho.
Umgaqo omncinci wokuhamba ngenqwelomoya ohamba ngenqwelomoya kwiYachts yaseSeabourn uthe unokuyiphepha ngokupheleleyo indawo yeGulf yaseAden. Inkampani inohambo olucwangcisiweyo ukusuka eSeychelles ukuya eMaldives kwi2011 kodwa inokutshintsha ikhosi yenqanawa ukuba uhlaselo lweepirate luyaqhubeka nokuba sisisongelo, utshilo uBruce Good.
“Sinethemba lokuba bazakube bekwazi ukuyilawula ngcono ngeloxesha,” utshilo u-Good, ngemikhosi yeenkaba zamazwe ngamazwe ejikeleza loo manzi.
Ngo-2005, i-SeabournSpirit yahlaselwa ngabaphangi kwizikhephe ezibini ezincinci ezadubula ngemipu zaza zaqalisa iziqhushumbisi zerocket kule nqanawa. Unogada omnye wenzakala ngesikrelemnqa, kodwa akukho namnye kubo owayenzakele. Inqanawa enabakhweli abangama-200 - enye yezona zincinci zincinci kwishishini lokuhamba ngenqanawa - ikwazile ukubaphepha abahlaseli ngokusebenzisa ukuqhuba ngokukhawuleza nokuthatha ngesantya esiphezulu. Umzila uhambe ngenqanawa kule ndawo ukusukela ngoko ngaphandle kwesehlo, utshilo u-Good.
Isithethi seRegent Seven Seas Cruise Lines u-Andrew Poulton uthe lo mzila awunazicwangciso zokurhoxisa uhambo lwabo lokuhamba ngenqanawa ebusuku-15 ukusuka e-Athene, eGrisi, ukuya e-Dubai, e-United Arab Emirates, kule-Okthobha. I-700-passenger Voyager iza kuhamba ngenqanawa kufutshane nomthamo, utshilo.
Abakhweli beenqanawa abambalwa bavakalise inkxalabo ngohlaselo lweepirate, kodwa uninzi luyayithemba inkampani ukuba ihlale ilumkile ngokhuseleko lwabo, utshilo uPoulton, ukwala ukuxoxa ngeFort Lauderdale Ngaba indawo yakho yokutyela yaseFort Lauderdale icocekile? - Cofa apha. Iindlela zokulwa ubuqhetseba zomgca.
Uninzi lweendlela zokuhamba ngeenqanawa ezinikezela ngeenxa zonke-zohambo lwehlabathi zihamba kwiGulf of Aden indlela kwaye zitsala izityebi, abanamava abahamba ngeenqanawa. I-Regent's yeentsuku ezili-119 zokuhamba ngenqanawa kwilizwe ngo-2010 kugqitha kulawo manzi ngokupheleleyo. Kodwa uPoulton uthe isigqibo sithathwe ngumnqweno womnxeba wokubonelela ngeminxeba emitsha kwizibuko lokuhamba ngenqanawa emhlabeni, hayi ukusabela kubundlobongela bepirate.
"Yinto ebesiyicwangcisile kwakudala," utshilo, eqaphela ikhosi yaseNtshona Afrika, yokumisa eNamibia, yeyokuqala kule nkampani.
Isithethi sodade wenkampani ohamba ngenqanawa, i-Oceania Cruises, khange sifumaneke ukwenza intetho. Umgca wahlaselwa ngo-Novemba ophelileyo ngabaphangi kwizikhephe ezibini. Inye isondele kwiiyadi ezingama-300 ukusuka eNautica ngaphambi kokuba amagosa enqanawa akwazi ukubaphelisa.
Iingcali zokhuselo lokuhamba ngenqanawa zithi imigca ithatha imiba yokuphanga ngokungathí sina, kwaye ikulungele ukuphatha uhlaselo kunezinye iinqanawa ezinjengeenqanawa zemithwalo.
"Andiqondi ukuba baya kuze baphumelele ukuthatha inqanawa elwandle," utshilo uMike Lee, usekela-mongameli kaMcRoberts Maritime Security, ene-ofisi yokubonisana eMiami.
IPirates inamehlo amfutshane, utshilo uLee. Abayiqwalaseli into yokuba kufuneka bebalekile kwaye bakhwele inqanawa enkulu kwaye ekhawulezayo enabantu abaninzi ebhodini, utshilo uLee. "Babona inqanawa enkulu, emhlophe, entle yokuhamba ngenqwelomoya enabakhweli abaninzi abatyebileyo kwaye iyakhala kubo," utshilo.
Akaqinisekanga ukuba iinqanawa zokuhamba ngenqanawa ngezixhobo njengolunye uluhlu lokhuselo ziyimfuneko okanye zilumkile. "Ukusebenzisa izixhobo kunokunyusa ubundlobongela," utshilo uLee. Kwaye ukudubula isilumkiso ayisiyothintelo.
Ukuthintela indawo, nangona kunjalo, licebo elilungileyo kwimizila yokuhamba ngenqanawa enokwandisa ubude beendlela zabo kunye nokufumana iindleko ezongezelelweyo zepetroli, utshilo.
Ngokuqinisekileyo i-MSC ayizukuthatha naluphina uhlaselo, utshilo uSasso. Umgaqo wokuhamba ngenqanawa uza kuthatha umgama omde ujikeleze iAfrika kwikhosi yaseSinfonia yaseYurophu emisa eMzantsi Afrika.
"Kukhuselekile kwi-1,000 yeemayile ngaselunxwemeni, kwaye kuyacaca ukuba akunjalo, ke sihamba ngendlela eyahlukileyo," utshilo uSasso. "Inyaniso yokuba [abaphangi] bazamile ukuthatha inqanawa kwaye babekude kude, kusifundise isifundo."
