Conflito no Oriente Médio atrasa viagem de auxílio à Ilha Marion

A missão anual de abastecimento da África do Sul à Ilha Marion foi adiada devido à escassez de combustível provocada pela guerra entre os EUA, Israel e Irã. O Departamento de Florestas, Pesca e Meio Ambiente confirmou que a escassez global de diesel polar especializado interrompeu a partida do navio SA Agulhas II. As autoridades declararam que estão trabalhando para limitar o impacto, garantindo a segurança.

A embarcação estava programada para deixar a Cidade do Cabo em 9 de abril. Os suprimentos de combustível só chegaram a uma refinaria local em 1º de maio, exigindo mistura e testes adicionais antes que o navio pudesse ser reabastecido.

O ministro Willie Aucamp afirmou que o departamento está cooperando com as partes interessadas para reduzir o atraso. Ele acrescentou que todas as precauções estão sendo tomadas para garantir o retorno seguro da equipe.

As reservas na ilha são suficientes até cerca de 20 de maio sem medidas de conservação. Os estoques de alimentos devem durar mais dois meses. O departamento observou que a entrega de combustível para a embarcação deve começar em poucos dias e que a partida ocorrerá imediatamente após.
