利伯维尔10月29日电——据这个中非国家的海军称,加蓬周三打捞出三具遗体。此前,博尔钻井公司(Borr Drilling)的“勘探者5号”(Prospector 5)钻井平台于周末在南部城镇马永巴(Mayumba)海岸附近沉没。
LIBREVILLE, Oct 29 - Three bodies were recovered in Gabon on Wednesday following the sinking at the weekend of Borr Drilling's Prospector 5 rig off the coast of the southern town of Mayumba, the Central African country's navy said.
这起事故于周六发生在“勘探者5号”油气钻井平台上,该平台由博尔公司拥有和运营。该平台受雇支持BW Energy公司在加蓬海岸外的钻井作业,当时尚未开始钻井。
The accident occurred on Saturday at the Prospector 5 oil and gas rig, owned and operated by Borr. The rig is contracted to support BW Energy's drilling operations off Gabon and it had not yet begun drilling.
博尔公司周一表示,船上的115人中有110人安全,仍有5人失踪。
Borr said on Monday that 110 of 115 people aboard were safe and five remained unaccounted for.
加蓬海军参谋长查尔斯·于贝尔·贝卡莱-梅永(Charles Hubert Bekale-Meyong)表示,周三发现了三具遗体,仍有两人失踪。
Chief of Staff of the Gabonese Navy, Charles Hubert Bekale-Meyong, said three bodies were found on Wednesday and two people were still missing.
贝卡莱-梅永在国家电视台表示:“这一发现归功于使用遥控机器人进行的水下检查。然而,收集到的影像无法用于辨认相关遗体。”
"This discovery was made possible thanks to underwater inspections conducted using remotely operated robots. However, the images collected do not allow for the identification of the bodies in question," Bekale-Meyong said on national television.
熟悉内情的消息人士周日表示,最初失踪的5人中有一名印度籍人士被发现死亡。他们补充说,其余4名失踪人员包括3名加蓬籍人士和另1名外籍人员。
Sources familiar with the matter said on Sunday that an Indian national, one of the five initially unaccounted for, was found dead. The remaining four missing include three Gabonese nationals and one other expatriate, they added.
另外,贝卡莱-梅永表示:“各团队将全力以赴,继续搜寻其他两名失踪人员。”
"The teams remain fully committed to continuing their search for the two other people who are missing," Bekale-Meyong said.
