伊朗起火油輪在東海沉沒

After burning in a toxic blaze of oil for more than a week, the Sanchi oil tanker sank into the East China Sea yesterday, Chinese state media said. The Iranian-managed tanker collided with a Chinese bulk carrier on January 6.

中國官方媒體報(bào)道稱，在持續(xù)燃燒一周多后，“桑吉號”油輪昨日在東海沉沒。1月6日，這艘隸屬一家伊朗公司的油輪與一艘中國散貨船相撞。

Iranian officials said all 32 crew members (30 Iranians and two Bangladeshis) on the tanker were presumed dead. A Chinese salvage team recovered two bodies from the tanker on Saturday and one other body was found during rescue operations earlier in the week.

伊朗官員表示，船上所有32名船員(30名伊朗人和兩名孟加拉國人)已推定遇難。上周六，中國救援隊(duì)從油輪上搜尋出兩具遺體，上周早些時(shí)候的救援行動也發(fā)現(xiàn)了一具遺體。

The ship was carrying condensate, a type of light oil. It departed from Assaluyeh, an Iranian port that serves South Pars, the world’s largest gasfield, last month. It was en route to the South Korean port of Daesan.

該船裝載著輕質(zhì)的凝析油。它于上月駛離為世界最大的氣田南帕爾斯(South Pars)服務(wù)的伊朗港口阿薩盧耶(Assaluyeh)。事發(fā)時(shí)正向韓國大山港(Daesan)航行。
