Next stop Hong Kong? Strange ship appears in Keelung Port; 'Ocean Light' warns: Suspicious movements ZH上一站香港?基隆港出現詭異船舶 「海洋之光」示警:行跡可疑
Newtalk新聞 美國非營利組織「海洋之光」(SeaLight)今天(22日)發布警告訊息,指一艘現正靠泊基隆港、名為「NEPTUNE」的小型貨輪,港口申報文件與自動識別系統(AIS)軌跡嚴重不符,引發「可疑」疑慮。公開船舶資料顯示,該船登記船東為英國「殼」公司,先前曾被歐洲海事安全局評為「非常高風險」,是巴黎與東京港口國監督備忘錄列「黑旗」的船隻。 根據「海洋之光」追蹤,「NEPTUNE」向基隆港申報資料,稱前一停靠港為香港,預計下一站航向韓國釜山。然而AIS紀錄顯示,該船於7月25日左右自基隆離港後,在高雄、澎湖及北部外海漂流或怠速約69天(逾兩個月),期間未停靠任何台灣以外港口,並於10月2日左右再次進入基隆。擴大尋查後更發現,該船過去14個月來,最「接近」香港還有490公里,全程AIS歷史更無香港停靠紀錄。 該船目前懸掛非洲島國科摩羅(Comoros)船旗,原先註冊坦尚尼亞(Tanzania)。2025年1月台灣針對坦尚尼亞等五國旗籍中國相關船隻加強監控後,該船於同年8月改旗。公開資料庫(MagicPort等)顯示,「NEPTUNE」的登記船東與商業管理公司同為SHUN LI SHIPPING CO LTD-GBI(英國),但英國紀錄顯示該公司已於2019年解散;另有香港同名公司,但也已解散。 「NEPTUNE」的最近一次國際檢查紀錄是2022年日本,當時有救生與消防設備等缺陷。監控組織強調,這類小型老舊方便旗貨輪在台灣周邊長期徘徊並與其他船隻相遇的模式,已成灰色地帶活動特徵,船方自身航程日誌可解答真正來源、貨物與裝載地點等問題。 「海洋之光」在今年3月也曾示警一艘靠泊台南安平港的「隆安號」貨輪,指其18個月的自動識別系統數據異常結束於茫茫公海之中;在台灣周邊海域活動時,有近30%的時間會刻意關閉安全廣播訊號,進入隱蔽狀態。而且據傳偵測到高達1213次的吃水線劇烈變動,專家推斷,「隆安號」頻繁從事非法的「船對船轉運」,私下接駁未知物資。經航港局調查,確認該船為東京備忘錄及我國列管的黑名單船旗國船舶,以國家安全疑慮被禁止進入台灣國際商港。但傳仍常出現在台灣西南外海(包括澎湖附近)徘徊。延伸閱讀:美日揮舞「利劍」 羅斯福號、伊勢號上陣海空協同中國海上民兵大「換班」 24艘「瓊三沙漁」駛向南沙、黃岩島楊宏基觀點》「防衛台灣」是核心利益還是戰略負債?台灣不該「偏聽」台菲聯手對抗中國「灰色地帶」威脅 海底電纜安全成合作新焦點 芬蘭擬佈百萬枚反人員地雷! 2030年代前恢復禁雷公約前庫存
