TOKYO/SINGAPORE (Reuters) – A team member of a shipment of farm animals that overturned in the direction of New Zealand to China died after being removed from the water through the Japanese Coast Guard on Friday, after it was learned that the shipment had a history of Mechanical Problems.
The unidentified type is the only team member at the time it is located.The search is still underway for the remaining 41 team members after shipping with 6,000 farm animals in the East China Sea overturned on Wednesday.
Rescuers also discovered a life jacket and corpses of farm animals in the domain where Gulf Livestock 1 is believed to have sank after sending a call of misery amid strong winds and strong seas hit by Typhoon Maysak.
Gulf Livestock 1, owned by Gulf Navigation, founded in the United Arab Emirates, lost engine power before being hit by a big wave, according to CHIEF Sareno Edvarodo, who rescued Wednesday.
The shipment is technically controlled and runs through German Marconsult Schiffarht GMBH, while the advertising director is in Jordan Hijazi.
“We’re closely following the stage,” a Gulf Navigation spokesman said in a statement emailed.”Our mind is with those on board and their families right now.”
The company runs with those involved in the rescue efforts and mourns the loss of livestock, he added.
Several marine reports over two years have shown that the vessel would possibly have mechanical defects and revealed operational problems.
A December inspection report through the Indonesian government on the Equasis website, which collects data on the protection of ships from public and personal sources, informed with the ship’s propulsion and auxiliary machinery.
Problems included “failures” of the propulsion engine and the meters, thermometers.
A 2019 Australian government report on the transit of the farm animal ship in June from Australia to Indonesia said the ship’s departure had been delayed for a week due to “known stability and navigation issues through the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA).”
AMSA’s online page showed that Gulf Livestock 1 was stopped through the Australian government for 3 days in May 2019 due to unrest with its e-navigation card, demonstration and data system.The report discussed the lack of updated tables and the education of officials.the system.
A report on fleetmon, a maritime tracking site based in Germany, shows the ship, under its old name Rahmeh, anchored off the Turkish coast in September 2018 “to solve a mechanical problem” that required the delivery of spare parts.
The FleetMon report also raised considerations from local citizens about the ship’s prolonged stay in the port of Cesme, as farm animals had been discovered in the past inflamed with anthrax.

THE SEARCH CONTINUES

Melbourne-based Australasian Global Exports showed that it hired 4 of the other people on board, and that the rest of the team was hired through Gulf Navigation.
“We are in complete contact with the families of our 4 colleagues and offer them everything they can,” he said in a statement.
