Chantier Naval Vessel Fails To Lift Sunk BIR Ship

CNL4287 mins

The use of a ship from the Cameroon Shipyard and Engineering Company Ltd (Chantier Naval) to pull out of the sea the sunk BIR Ship and facilitate the recovery of bodies of some 34 soldiers and civilians, was apparently abandoned on July 22.

Security sources monitoring the recovery efforts told The Post on Sunday, July 23, that the option for a Chantier Naval ship to tow the sunk vessel out of water had to be abandoned when it was observed that it could lead to huge damage in the process.

The sunk BIR ship is said to be some 40 to 50 meters under water and quite some nautical miles away from land.

The option to bring in a Chantier Naval vessel, The Post gathered, was because turbulent waves around the Debunscha waters where the BIR ship, Mundemba, sank on Sunday, July 16, have continued to slow down efforts employed by the marine service of the Cameroon army to recover the bodies of the missing 34 soldiers and about a dozen civilians.

The Deputy Commander of the Rapid Intervention Battalion, code-named BIR DELTA, at the Bakassi Peninsular, Lt. Colonel Hilaire Moussa, and two other lieutenants, were said to be among the 34 BIR soldiers reported to have been inside the ship that Sunday.

Two bodies were recovered on Wednesday, July 19, when divers began a frantic recovery effort. On Thursday, July 20, only one body was successfully retrieved.

The divers carrying out the recovery efforts are said to be some of the most experienced that Cameroon has. But their efforts on Friday, July 21, are said to have yielded no fruits, as not even one body was removed.

In a bid to hasten the recovery efforts, the expertise of Chantier Naval was sort on Saturday, July 22. But the deployment of one of their ships to tow the vessel was soon abandoned. The option to continue with divers was resorted to. But it is not clear how many more bodies were recovered on Saturday, July 22 and Sunday, July 23.

Cameroon has never suffered or experienced such a sea mishap and has not got the kind of equipment that can enable it to run a fast recovery operation at such depths.

Meantime, pundits hold that Cameroon should have sort for assistance from some advanced countries like France, or the US that she has military alliance with, in the Africa Partnership Station.

Lt. Colonel Moussa, the topmost ranked BIR officer who was onboard the ship, is said to have been appointed barely two weeks ago as the Deputy Commander of BIR DELTA.

Thus, he was on his way to Bakassi, that Sunday morning, to take up duties in his new post.

Mishap struck barely two hours after they set sail from the Shipyard terminal in Limbe. His body is said to be among those that have been recovered so far.

The ship, christened Mundemba, is said to be one of two cargo ships that were bought for the BIR when Israeli-born Col. Sylvain Abraham was still the main Expatriate Coordinator of the BIR. He died in November, 2010, following an army helicopter crash en route from Limbe to Yaounde.

Mundemba sailed off from the Chantier Naval oilrig repair yard in Limbe at about 4.00am on that Sunday. It had on board 37 BIR soldiers and a few civilian contractors who were either drivers or other workers with the BIR.

On board the ship were five trucks loaded with gravel and sand, a heavily loaded petrol tanker destined for the BIR and other Government services within the Bakassi area.

“It was a routine supply mission by this ship, because, it does two supply missions every month to the Bakassi area,” said one informant to The Post.

The Post gathered that when the ship set off from Cape Limboh, the waves were not the best because it had rained terribly in Limbe from July 14 through July 15 and 16.

A source told The Post that at the Debunscha end of the sea, some two hours after takeoff, a violent wave slammed against the vessel causing it to overturn as the weight of the cargo inside certainly tipped it off balance.

Three soldiers, who were on guard on the deck are the only ones that survived the accident.

Om een online casino zonder registratie mogelijk te maken gebruikt men zoals eerder aangehaald Trustly, en Trustly werkt samen met al de grote banken in Nederland. Zo zijn casino’s zonder registratie voor bijna alle Nederlanders beschikbaar. In principe werkt het netzelfde als een online casino zonder registratie met iDEAL.

    iDEAL is het populairste en het bekendste online betaalsysteem in Nederland. Het systeem komt ook voorbij bij webshops en wanneer iemand een maaltijd zal bestellen op het internet. Alle grote Nederlandse banken werken samen met iDEAL, waardoor er genoten kan worden van één van de veiligste betaalmethoden aller tijden. Behalve het aanbieden van iDEAL als betaalmethode stelt Onetime ook andere eisen aan online casino’s. Je hebt online weliswaar heel veel keuze uit online casino’s, maar de betrouwbaarheid van die casino’s is niet zomaar gegarandeerd. Om door ons aanbevolen te worden, kijken we naar een aantal criteria. Is er een online casino met iDEAL zonder registratie? Daar kunnen we kort over zijn: nee, dat is er niet. Je moet in Nederland altijd jezelf registreren bij een legaal online casino. Dit is een vereiste vanuit de KSA om überhaupt in aanmerking te kunnen komen voor een goklicentie. Door middel van registratie bewijs je dat je bent wie je zegt dat je bent, onder meer door middel van verificatie. Hierdoor wordt voorkomen dat mensen jonger dan 18 jaar en mensen die in het CRUKS register staan zich kunnen registreren. Ook bij een nieuw online casino met iDEAL zul je een account aan moeten maken.

  95. I been playing on springbok casino since many years. Initially I faced same problems as mentioned by other reviewers here. But it’s just matter of time n patience. At the beginning u have to get authorization process which needs right documents to complete it. U have to go through their terms and conditions carefully. Like if u redeem bonus it should have wager points n max cash out. I been playing since many years n had really big winnings. I find the best payout percentage than any other casino. If u having small bank roll then u can go with thunderbolt casino. They are sister casinos. Thunderbolt allows u to deposit small amount. Overall my experience is so good on Both casinos.

  133. The Gold Standard was a monetary system in which the unit of account was tied to the value of a fixed amount of gold. Central banks, therefore, had enough gold reserves to guarantee the conversion of the currency at a fixed rate. The Gold Standard remained in force until 1971, when the United States deemed it unsuitable to support economic growth and the expansion of international trade. “They play into the two reasons why Bitcoin price tends to go up after the halving. Firstly, because new supply from miners is halved, supply is also halved. And secondly, miners tend to hold onto Bitcoin until the price is right, which usually means when the price doubles,” he said. The next bitcoin halving is expected to occur in April 2024, when the number of blocks hits 740,000. It will see the block reward fall from 6.25 to 3.125 bitcoins. The exact date of the halving is not yet known as the time taken to generate new blocks varies, with the network averaging one block every ten minutes.
