過載測試突發事故
Accident During Overload Test
HLC（重吊）295000型海洋平臺吊在載荷測試期間發生嚴重事故
Serious accident during overload test of the offshore crane HLC (Heavy Lift Crane) 295000
根據初步調查結果，起重機吊鉤未能承受負荷
According to preliminary findings the crane hook did not withstand the load
2020年5月2日在德國羅斯託克國際港口進行一項符合行業標準的測試過程中，HLC 295000重型海洋平臺吊在發生事故後受到嚴重損壞，目前正在對事故原因和過程進行全面調查。
During the course of tests in line with industry standards on 2nd May 2020 in the international Port of Rostock, the offshore heavy lift crane HLC 295000 was severely damaged following an accident. Comprehensive investigations as to the cause and course of the accident are currently under way.
2020年5月5日德國羅斯託克 | 利勃海爾海工技術羅斯託克有限公司(Liebherr-MCCtec Rostock GmbH)對其生產的HLC 295000型海洋平臺吊進行荷載測試時，發生了一起嚴重的事故，導致兩名傷者被送往醫院接受治療，另有10人在現場接受醫護人員治療。
Rostock (Germany) 5th May, 2020 – During an overload test of the offshore crane HLC 295000 from Liebherr-MCCtec Rostock GmbH a serious accident occurred resulting in two injured persons having to be taken to hospital for treatment. A further ten persons were treated by paramedics on site.
損壞的吊鉤
利勃海爾海工技術羅斯託克有限公司 (Liebherr-MCCtec Rostock GmbH)董事總經理利奧波德伯託爾德(Leopold Berthold)表示：「在此，我們祈禱傷者一切順利，希望能夠早日康復。」 他補充道：「考慮到損害的程度，我們首先慶幸的是事故未造成更多的人身傷害，我們目前的首要任務是全力支持調查當局，以便協助儘快查清事故原因。」
「At this point we wish the injured persons all the best and hope for a full and speedy recovery,」 said Leopold Berthold, Managing Director of Liebherr-MCCtec Rostock GmbH. 「Considering the extent of the damages, we are above all thankful that it did not cause more personal injuries. Our priorities currently lie in fully supporting the investigating authorities in order to contribute to the quickest possible clarification of the accident,」 added Berthold.
就目前的調查情況，主管部門和專家一致認為，起重機的吊鉤斷裂是事故發生的真正原因。在此階段，吊鉤未能承受住負荷的原因尚不明確，起重機吊鉤的設計和製造都是由外部供應商提供，因此可以排除利勃海爾起重機的設計或生產問題。
At this stage in the investigations, the responsible authorities and experts unanimously assume that a broken crane hook was the cause of the accident. The exact reasons as to why the hook did not withstand the load are unclear at this stage of investigations. The design and manufacture of the crane hook was purchased from an external supplier. A design or production error of the Liebherr crane can therefore be excluded.
HLC 295000的荷載測試計劃在負載為5500噸的情況下進行。該提升應該通過駁船的起重來完成，執行過載測試是行業的典型過程，通過此程序，起重機將測試其最大起重能力。據當前已知事實，事故發生時的載重量約為2600噸，它所產生的連鎖反應，導致了事故的發生。
The overload test for the HLC 295000 was planned for a load scenario of 5,500 tonnes. The lift should have been carried out through the hoisting of a barge. Carrying out an overload test is a typical procedure for the industry, whereby the crane is tested for its maximum lifting capacity. Currently known facts indicate that the incident occurred at a load of around 2,600 tonnes causing a chain reaction which led to the accident.
就目前情況而言，事故對利勃海爾海工技術羅斯託克有限公司(Liebherr-MCCtec Rostock GmbH)的日常運行沒有影響，據初步估計，損失高達數千萬歐元。
As things stand, the accident has no effect on day-to-day operations at Liebherr-MCCtec Rostock GmbH. According to initial estimates, the damage amounts to a high double-digit million figure.
