關於MOL COMFORT這艘船斷裂沉沒的問題， =^_^= 在文章日本造船象徵走下“神壇”留下評論，給大家回憶了一下這艘船悲慘的一生，隨後夢非若無對該船沉沒的時間進行了補充説明。我找了一點這艘船的資料，繼續豐富一下二位朋友的信息，供大家參考。限於本人英語水平實在有限，大家多多指正。

根據維基百科上的介紹，這艘船的基本情況如下：

這船前後還有兩個東家，不知道是不是正常操作。

was a 2008-built Bahamian-flagged post-Panamax container ship chartered by Mitsui O.S.K. Lines. On 17 June 2013, she broke into two about 200 nautical miles (370 km; 230 mi) off the coast of Yemen. The aft section sank on 27 June and the bow section, after having been destroyed by fire, on 11 July.

MOL Comfort號是2008年建造的、懸掛巴哈馬國旗的巴拿馬型集裝箱船，由三井O.S.K.株式會社(Mitsui O.S.K. Lines)租用。2013年6月17日，她在距爺們海岸200海里處斷成兩截，。船尾部在6月27日沉沒，船首部在7月11日被大火摧毀後沉沒。

所以是5年後沉沒，後面的兄弟説的是對的。

On 17 June 2013, MOL Comfort suffered a crack amidships in bad weather about 200 nautical miles (370 km; 230 mi) off the coast of Yemen and eventually broke into two after hogging. The vessel was underway from Singapore to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, with a cargo of 4,382 containers equivalent to 7,041 TEU. The crew of 26—11 Russians, one Ukrainian and 14 Filipinos—abandoned the ship and were rescued from two life rafts and a lifeboat by the German-flagged container ship Yantian Express, one of three vessels diverted to the site of incident by ICG Mumbai.[3][4][5] After the structural failure, both sections remained afloat with the majority of the cargo intact and began drifting in an east-northeast direction. Smit Salvage Singapore was contracted to tow the sections to safety.[6]

2013年6月17日，MOL Comfort船在惡劣天氣下在船體中部發生裂縫，時間約為200海里(370公里);(230英里)在也門海岸附近，最終分裂成兩半。這艘船從新加坡駛往沙特阿拉伯吉達，裝載了4,382個集裝箱，相當於7,041 TEU。26名船員中，11名俄羅斯人、1名烏克蘭人和14名菲律賓人棄船而去，懸掛德國國旗的集裝箱船鹽田快車(Yantian Express)把他們從兩艘救生筏和一艘救生艇上救起。結構破壞後，兩段均保持漂浮狀態，大部分貨物未受損，開始向東北偏東方向漂移。新加坡救援公司把他們拖向了安全地帶。

On 24 June, four oceangoing tugboats arrived at the scene and began towing the bow section to safety.[7] However, before any salvage operations of the stern section could commence, water ingress was reported on 26 June.[8] On the following day, the stern sank at 14°26′N 66°26′E to a depth of 4,000 metres (13,000 ft). Some of the approximately 1,700 containers on board were later confirmed floating near the site. While no major oil leak was reported, the stern section was said to contain about 1,500 tons of fuel.[9]

6月24日，四艘遠洋拖船抵達現場，開始將船首部拖至安全地帶。然而，6月26日，在打撈工作開始之前，船位開始進水。[8]第二天,船尾沉沒在14°26′N 66°26′E，深度4000米(13000英尺)處。後來證實，船上1700個集裝箱的一部分漂浮於出事地點周圍。雖然沒有重大的石油泄漏報告，但據説船尾部含有大約1500噸的燃料

On 2 July, the tow of the bow section broke free in bad weather[10] but the towing line was reattached the next day.[6] On 6 July a fire broke out in the rear part of the bow section. Unable to get the blaze under control in bad weather the salvage vessels asked for help from an Indian Coast Guard patrol boat with external fire fighting equipment.[11] By 10 July most of the 2,400 containers on board had been destroyed by fire.[12] The damaged bow section sank the next night at 19°56′N 65°25′E to a depth of 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) with what remained of the cargo and 1,600 metric tons of fuel oil in the tanks. No spill apart from a thin oil film on the surface has been reported, but some containers were spotted floating around the sinking site.[13] The cause of the fire remains unknown.

7月2日，在惡劣天氣[10]的情況下，船首部的拖纜斷了，但拖纜第二天又重新接上了。[6] 7月6日，在艏部後部發生火災。在惡劣的天氣下，救援船隻無法控制火勢，只得向一艘配備外部消防設備的印度海岸警衞隊巡邏艇求助。到7月10日，船上2 400個集裝箱中的大部分已被大火燒燬。[12]受損弓部分沉沒第二天晚上，連同剩下的貨物和1600噸然後，受損部分沉沒在19°56 N′65°25′E的3000米深的海底。除了表面的一層薄油膜外，沒有任何泄漏的報道，但是一些集裝箱被發現漂浮在沉沒地點周圍。火災的原因仍不清楚。
