紐西蘭國防軍6日稍早證實,1艘海軍軍艦5日在薩摩亞(Samoa)海域擱淺沉沒,船上75人全部獲救,目前未知意外原因。
路透社6日報導,根據紐西蘭軍方聲明,海軍專業水下探測艦艇「馬納瓦努伊號」(HMNZS Manawanui)5日進行珊瑚礁調查時,於薩摩亞烏波盧島(Upolu)南部海岸附近擱淺。
當局在事發後與薩摩亞和澳洲多個部門協調派出船隻到場,救出乘坐救生艇的75人,部分人受輕傷。空軍也派出1架海神式海上巡邏機(P-8A Poseidon)協助救援。根據當地傳媒的片段和照片顯示,「馬納瓦努伊號」擱淺後嚴重傾斜,並不斷冒出濃煙,之後沉入水中。軍方稱與相關部門合作,減少對環境的影響。

「馬納瓦努伊號」是1艘排水量為5741噸的多用途海上支援艦。紐西蘭於2018年耗資1.03億紐西蘭元打造這艘軍艦。該艦自2019年以來一直在紐西蘭皇家海軍服役,主要用於紐西蘭周邊和西南太平洋的專業潛水、打撈和水文任務,也可以支援清除戰爭遺留爆炸物的任務。
