完全無法理解：

源由來自伊朗、船籍是巴拿馬、船東伊朗the Iranian Merchant Mariners Syndicate、船員以伊朗人居多、目的地是韓國、出事地點在上海附近（中國的EEZ），但現在飄至日本的EEZ、中國拒絕日本海自幫忙、萬里遠的伊朗派搜救人員到上海、伊朗船東致函中國表示不耐～～

這是什麼「公司」呢？the Iranian Merchant Mariners Syndicate，網頁居然有陽明海運。

怎麼看怎麼怪～～

似乎是此油輪又是「公海交易」的那種？

火燒油輪 漂入日本經濟海域    自由 20180113

伊朗十二日表示，自伊朗搭載十三萬六千公噸輕原油、六日在中國東海與貨船相撞後起火的巴拿馬籍油輪「桑吉號」，又再度發生爆炸，徒增救援與汙染控制的複雜度；此外，「桑吉號」目前已從距離上海約兩百五十公里的肇事海域，漂入日本專屬經濟區，目前距離沖繩約兩百一十七公里。日本海岸防衛隊表示願意協助，但中方稱能自行處理。「桑吉號」船員多為伊朗人，目前已知一死三十一失蹤，伊朗派出十二名專業搜救人員已在上海等候隨時登船營救。圖為中國交通部十日提供的照片，顯示消防船正努力撲滅「桑吉號」的火勢。（美聯社）

Firefighters still battling oil tanker blaze off China coast after six days    The Guardian 20180111

Six days after a fire broke out on an Iranian oil tanker off the coast of China, firefighters are still struggling to extinguish the blaze, as criticism mounted in Tehran over whether enough was being done to locate dozens of its missing crew members.

The Sanchi, carrying 136,000 tonnes of light crude oil from Iran to South Korea, has been in flames since colliding with the CF Crystal, a Hong Kong-registered bulk freighter, 160 nautical miles east of Shanghai on Saturday.

One body has been found but 31 sailors – mainly Iranians – remain missing with officials in Iran hoping they have found sanctuary on an unaffected part of the vessel.

Cleanup and rescue ships have faced toxic fumes, strong winds, rain and waves up to four metres high as they scrambled to find survivors and avoid a massive oil slick since Saturday’s incident.

China’s transport ministry said on Thursday evening the Panamanian-flagged 274-metre (899ft) tanker remained on fire, adding two ships had spent the day spraying the vessel with retardant foam.

But rescue efforts were still being hampered by “terrible” weather conditions and toxic gases from the burning oil which “pose a great danger to rescuers”, the ministry said in a statement.

Of the 30 Iranians and two Bangladeshis on the Sanchi’s crew, only one body has so far been found and there has been no word from them since the collision.

On Thursday the Iranian Merchant Mariners Syndicate, an industry NGO, said it had written to Chinese authorities expressing frustration at the lack of progress in putting out the fire.

 “It was clear that the Chinese are not cooperating enough,” IMMS vice-president Saman Rezaie, told AFP.

Iranian news website Khabar Online published video interviews with some of the relatives of those missing.

“I don’t know what else to say but just beg them to rescue them as I am sure that they are alive inside,” said one woman, who identified herself as the wife of the Sanchi’s chief engineer.

The 21 Chinese crew members of the Crystal, which did not burst into flames, were all rescued.

截至1月10日7时，巴拿马籍油船“桑吉”轮已漂移至碰撞位置东南方向约65海里处，船体仍在燃烧，船上火势较9日晚无明显变化。
