S Korea to arrange for compensation for Alexandra crew relatives
VLADIVOSTOK, March 2 (Itar-Tass) - The Korean seafarers union will
defend in the South Korean court the right of the realtives of the Russian crewmembers of the Alexandra motor ship to compensation. The relative agreement was reached in Manila on Wednesday between delegations of the Seafarers' Union of Russia (SUR) and the Korean seafarers union that are taking part in the forum of the leaders of seafarers unions of countries of the Asia-Pacific Region (APR).
On February 9, 2011, the Alexandra motor ship with a deadweight of
2,150 tonnes wrecked as a result of collision with a Korean container ship with a deadweight of 88,000 tonnes 16 miles off the South Korean port of Ulsan. This vessel "cut" the Alexandra in two parts, only 33-year-old sailor from Nakhodka Ruslan Drichev managed to survive. Four seamen were killed and seven went missing.
Chairman of the Far Eastern regional organisation of the Seafarers' Union of Russia Nikolai Sukhanov reported from Manila that the Korean seafarers union will assume the "organisation of judicial proceedings to establish the sums of compensations and their payment to the families of the deceased sailors." The Korean side will also hire a skilled lawyer to defend the interests of the relatives of the killed sailors.
Earlier, the bodies of four Russian seafarers who were killed in the Alexandra motor shipwreck off South Korea's coast, were brought to
Vladivostok and Khabarovsk. Their funerals were held on Tuesday, Nikolai Sukhanov told Itar-Tass.
Two of the victims are from Nakhodka - Vadim Konoplev, born in 1965 - the ship's second mechanic, and Olga Dorosina, born in 1979 - the vessel's barmaid. Two other deceased seafarers are from Khabarovsk: chef Maria Parshina, born in 1962, and trainee electrician Andrei Sakhonenko, born in 1959.
The crew of the Alexandra ship flying the Cambodian flag, comprised 12 Russian sailors. The vessel with a freight of timber on January 9 left Nakhodka port for Japan, from where the ship headed for its last voyage to China for scrapping. The incident with the freighter occurred 16 miles from the South Korean port of Ulsan on February 9. The Coast Guard of the Republic of Korea conducted a search operation for them until February 19, but failed to find anybody.
On February 9, the Alexandra ship with a deadweight of 2,150 tonnes collided with a South Korean container ship with a capacity of 88,000 tonnes. The Alexandra broke into two parts, its stern part with cabins sank immediately at a depth of 140 metres. The ship's forebody was afloat until February 13 and on the same day sank at a depth of 92 metres. The sunken vessel belonged to the Amur River Shipping Company and was leased from Rowley Group Ltd from Khabarovsk.
According to the Korean side, the search operation for the missing
seven crewmembers of the Alexandra involved in different days 5 planes and helicopters, as well as up to fifteen different waterborne vehicles.
