根据国际干散货船东协会(INTERCARGO)于近日发布的数据报告，在2013年至2023年的十年间，共发生了26起散货船全损事故，造成104名船员遇难，其中超三分之二的船员死于货物流态化引发的事故。报告统计了载重吨(DWT)在10,000以上的散货船，数据显示，十年间全球散货船数量增加了30%，达到13,000艘。但与此同时，发生船损的散货船数量呈明显的下降趋势，这表明散货船的安全状况得到改善。货物流态化、船舶搁浅是造成散货船船员伤亡和船舶损失的主要原因，因此，INTERCARGO仍发出警告，希望业界能够提高防范、化解这类风险的能力。在5起由货物流态化引发的船员伤亡事故中，有4起运载的是镍矿石，另外1起则为铝土矿。这5起事故共导致70名海员丧生，占过去十年总伤亡人数的67.3%。

More than two-thirds of the 104 seafarers who perished in the 26 bulk carriers lost at sea in the ten years since 2013 died as a result of cargo liquefaction, according to statistics just released by the International Association of Dry Cargo Shipowners (Intercargo). The statistics, which apply to ships of more than 10,000 dwt, show that despite a 30% increase in the number of bulk carriers to about 13,000 over the period, a broad trend of improving safety and reducing ship losses is evident. But more needs to be done to guard against the risk of cargo liquefaction and groundings, the two main causes of ship losses, Intercargo declared. Four of the five bulk carriers lost as a result of liquefaction were carrying nickel ore; one had a cargo of bauxite. Yet these five ships accounted for 70 lost lives - 67.3% of the total.
