在香港附近锚泊时海底电缆管道的损坏风险

来源:北英保赔协会@2021.06.08


停泊在香港航道附近的船只要注意海底管道和电缆受损的风险。


停泊在香港东南方位的船舶需要格外谨慎,因为该地区存在大量海底电缆和管道,其中一些在所有电子海图中都并未标清。据了解,水文局并未对所有电缆和管道(从起点至终点)在电子海图中做完整标示,他们仅对交通繁忙区域内的电缆和管道进行了标记。


在一些情况下,所属电缆公司会联系船舶,要求船舶改变锚泊位置。据了解,这些公司有可能借此机会试图将早已发生的电缆损坏归责于其他船舶。


如果船舶在该区域有锚泊计划,那么谨慎做法是仅在指定停泊点抛锚。



Vessels anchoring near the approaches to Hong Kong are alerted to the risks of damaging subsea pipelines and cables.


Attention is drawn in particular to the South East approaches due to the large volume of subsea cables and pipelines in the region, some of which are not clear on all Electronic Navigational Charts (ENC). It is understood that not all cables and lines are marked fully from origin to termination by the hydrographic office and only show in the busy traffic areas.


In some cases, vessels have been called by the owing cable companies requesting that the vessel changes their anchoring location. It is also understood that companies may attempt to blame such vessels for pre-existing cable damage.


Vessels intending to anchor in this region should consider designated anchorages only.
