I-ROCKHAMPTON, e-Australia - Abasebenzi baphuthuma ukuba bakhuphe ukuchithwa kweoli ngoMvulo ukusuka kwinqanawa ephethe amalahle ebekwe e-Australia's Great Barrier Reef, bathumela iinqanawa ezimbini zokuzinzisa umkhumbi ukuze ungaqhekeki kwaye wonakalise ngakumbi i-coral ebuthathaka phantsi.
Ukuhamba ngesantya esipheleleyo se-10 mph (12 knots, 16 kph), i-Shen Neng 1 ebhalisiweyo yaseTshayina yangena eDouglas Shoals ngasekupheleni koMgqibelo, indawo enezithintelo zokuthumela ngenqanawa ukuze kukhuselwe eyona ndawo inkulu ye-coral reef kunye neyona ndawo. idweliswe njengendawo yeLifa leMveli yeHlabathi ngenxa yamanzi ayo aqaqambileyo kunye nexabiso lokusingqongileyo njengekhaya kumawaka eentlobo zezilwanyana zaselwandle.
Malunga neetoni ezi-2 (iitoni zeemetric) zeoyile sele zichithekile kwiitoni ze-1,000 (iitoni ezingama-950) zamafutha ebhodini, idala i-100-yard (imitha) etyibilikayo eyolula iikhilomitha ezi-2 (iikhilomitha ezi-3), i-Marine Safety Queensland yathi ingxelo.
Inkulumbuso yaseQueensland State u-Anna Bligh uthe i-boom iya kufakwa enqanaweni ngoLwesibini ukuze iqulathe i-oyile evuzayo kwinqanawa. Iinqwelomoya zitshize izisasazi zeekhemikhali kwiinzame zokwaphula iCawe epholileyo.
"Into yethu ephambili ye-1 igcina le oli kwi-Barrier Reef kwaye igcinwe," uxelele iintatheli eBrisbane.
UBligh uthe iqela labahlengi lifikile enqanaweni ngoMvulo kwaye belizama ukuyizinzisa.
“Ikwindawo ecekethekileyo yolwalwa kwaye inqanawa ikwimeko yokonakala kakhulu, ukulawula le nkqubo kuya kufuna bonke ubuchule obuchwephesha esinokubuthwala,” uxelele unomathotholo wase-Australian Broadcasting Corp. Uthe kungathatha iiveki ukukhupha inqanawa.
Umnini wenqanawa, i-Shenzhen Energy, i-subsidiary yeQela le-Cosco engumqhubi wenqanawa omkhulu wase-China, unokuhlawuliswa ukuya kuthi ga kwi-1 yezigidi zeedola zase-Australia (i-$ 920,000) ngenxa yokuphambuka kwindlela yokuthutha esetyenziswa yi-6,000 yeenqanawa zempahla ngonyaka, uBligh uthe.
“Le yinxalenye ecekeceke kakhulu yenye yezona ndawo zixabisekileyo zaselwandle emhlabeni kwaye kukho iindlela zokuthumela ezikhuselekileyo ezigunyazisiweyo- kwaye kulapho le nqanawa bekufanele ukuba ilapho,” utshilo uBligh.
Abasemagunyeni boyika ukuba inqanawe iya kwaphuka ngexesha lomsebenzi wokusindisa kwaye yonakalise iikorale ezininzi, okanye ichithe i-oyile yayo eninzi kakhulu kulwandle olutshiswe lilanga. Nangona kunjalo, uBligh uthe umngcipheko wokuqhekeka kwenqanawa ubonakala unciphile ukusukela oko eyokuqala kwezikhephe ezimbini zokutsala yafika kwaye yanciphisa ukuhamba kwayo.
Ukutsalwa kabini kwafika ngoMvulo ukuza kuzinzisa inqanawa, utshilo uKhuseleko lwaseLwandle lwaseQueensland.
"Enye yezona zinto zixhalabisayo kukuba inqanawa isahamba phezu kwenqanawa ukuya kwisenzo solwandle, esenza umonakalo omkhulu" kwi-coral kunye ne-hull, ngokutsho komphathi jikelele we-arhente, uPatrick Quirk. Iingxelo zokuqala zomonakalo zibonise izikhukhula kwigumbi le-injini enkulu kunye nomonakalo kwi-injini engundoqo kunye ne-rudder.
Iphenyane lamapolisa lalimi ecaleni likhupha abasebenzi abangama-23 ukuba inqanawa iyaphuka.
Umthuthi omkhulu wawuthatha malunga neetoni ezingama-72,000 (iitoni ezingama-65,000) zamalahle ukuya e-China ukusuka kwizibuko laseQueensland laseGladstone xa wangqubeka kunxweme lwaseQueensland kwiGreat Barrier Reef Marine Park.
Amaqela amaninzi olondolozo lwendalo avakalise ukucatshukiswa kukuba abathwali abaninzi banokuhamba kwingqaqa ngaphandle komqhubi wenqanawa okhethekileyo waselwandle. Iindlela zokuthumela ngenqanawa kumanzi aseOstreliya zidla ngokufuna ukuba umphathi onamava ukuba akhwele inqanawa engenayo ukuze ancede ajikeleze iingozi. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, urhulumente uthe akukho mfuneko yabaqhubi baselwandle abajikeleze indawo ekhuselweyo kuba iinqanawa ezinkulu zivaliwe apho.
Ingcali yomthetho wezolwandle uMichael White weYunivesithi yaseQueensland uthe i-oyile yeyona nto inobungozi yokusingqongileyo ebangelwa kukumisa. Ngelixa amalahle enokwenza “umonakalo omkhulu wendawo,” aya kukhawuleza abhubhe.
Isazi se-geologist yaselwandle uGreg Webb ovela kwiYunivesithi yaseQueensland yeTekhnoloji uthe iziphumo zokuchitheka kweoyile kunye namalahle zinokuba neziphumo ezingaziwayo.
“Kwixesha elidlulileyo besihlala sicinga ukuba ulwalwa lunokunyamezela nantoni na,” uxelele unomathotholo we-ABC. "Kwaye ndicinga ukuba kule minyaka ilishumi idlulileyo okanye kunjalo, siqala ukuqonda ukuba mhlawumbi abanako."
