<p>一位大亨的航運帝國正在向霍爾木茲海峽派遣油輪，儘管伊朗警告稱，任何使用這一重要貿易通道的船隻將被擊沉。</p>
<p>根據海事分析專家 Kpler 的數據顯示，自戰爭開始以來，喬治·普羅科皮烏（George Prokopiou）旗下的 Dynacom Tankers 公司至少有五艘船隻穿越了位於海灣口的 30 英里寬的狹窄水域。</p>
<p>據稱，船員們被命令在進入海峽之前關閉船隻的應答器，以使其更難被擊中。</p>
<p>船舶追蹤網站顯示，當它們接近水道時消失在視野中，隨後在重新激活應答器後又在另一側重新出現。</p>
<p>國際運輸工人聯合會（ITF）譴責這種做法，並表示船東不應強迫船員冒生命危險。</p>
<p>這一高風險策略並不限於從海灣運送石油的滿載油輪——甚至空船也從東部通過。</p>
<p>其中一艘油輪，72,000 公噸的 Athina，似乎在週六晚上空載穿越了海峽，隨後在巴林裝載，並在兩天後離開。</p>
<p>根據 VesselFinder 網站的信息，它在週五仍在海灣，正朝東駛向海峽。</p>
<p>更大的 Pola——150,000 公噸，是能夠使用蘇伊士運河的最大油輪之一——也是其他 Dynacom 船隻中穿越海峽的船隻之一，Kpler 表示。</p>
<p>79 歲的普羅科皮烏在俄羅斯入侵烏克蘭後表示，“制裁從未奏效”，他在航運行業中是一個頗具爭議的人物。</p>
<p>烏克蘭將 Dynacom 列入 “國際戰爭贊助商” 名單，儘管後來撤回了這一稱號。</p>
<p>該公司繼續使用霍爾木茲海峽的決定使其船隻面臨伊朗導彈攻擊的風險，德黑蘭承諾任何在該地區的船隻將被 “點燃”。伊朗已宣佈該貿易通道關閉。</p>
<p>自衝突開始以來，至少有九艘貨船在該地區遭到襲擊，三名海員遇難。</p>
<p>然而，進行這一航程的回報是顯著的。根據價格報告機構 Argus 的數據，運費在一週內翻了一番，穿越海峽駛往中國的油輪現在每天可賺取約 50 萬美元（374,000 英鎊）。</p>
<p>Kpler 的貿易風險分析師安娜·蘇巴西奇（Ana Subasic）表示，Dynacom 的油輪和少數幾艘 “影子艦隊” 船隻——這些船隻在違反國際制裁的情況下運輸伊朗石油——是仍在使用該海峽的唯一船隻。</p>
<h2>‘獨特’ 的保險安排</h2>
<p>她表示，這家希臘公司必須談判 “獨特” 的保險安排以恢復運營，而其他航運公司不太可能跟隨，因為大多數保險公司會對這樣的條款感到畏懼。</p>
<p>蘇巴西奇表示，她瞭解到美國也在繼續尋找提供保險覆蓋的方式，以使石油再次流出海灣，但沒有解決方案近在眼前。</p>
<p>她預計該水道至少還會關閉四周。</p>
<p>ITF 的秘書長斯蒂芬·科頓（Stephen Cotton）表示，海員們有協議賦予他們拒絕駛入該地區的權利。</p>
<p>ITF 和主要航運公司同意將海峽指定為 “戰爭作業區域”，以增強對船員的保護。該協議還包括對同意穿越海峽的工作人員提供 100% 的獎金，並將因襲擊導致的死亡或殘疾的賠償翻倍。</p>
<p>科頓表示：“霍爾木茲海峽對海員的生命風險是真實存在的，海員們已經遇難。</p>
<p>“聽到公司選擇航行並將海員的生命置於風險之中令人震驚。沒有工人應該僅僅因為工作而冒着被殺或受傷的風險。”</p>
<p>普羅科皮烏的三家航運公司擁有超過 150 艘船隻的集體艦隊，還有許多船隻正在建造中。</p>
<p>這位大亨還擁有一艘 106.5 米的 “超級遊艇” Dream，停靠在雅典附近，並開發了廣泛的房地產，包括希臘唯一的四季酒店和一個相鄰的碼頭開發項目。</p>
<p>然而，他駕駛一輛老舊的梅賽德斯 4x4，且與希臘大多數船東精英不同，他以不僱傭私人保鏢而聞名。</p>
<p>Dynacom Tankers 已被聯繫以發表評論。</p>

<p>一位億萬富翁的航運帝國 Dynacom Tankers 正在通過危險的霍爾木茲海峽運輸油輪，儘管伊朗威脅要沉沒該地區的船隻。該公司 reportedly 已指示船員關閉應答器以避免被發現。國際運輸工人聯合會對此做法表示譴責，強調了對海員的風險。貨運費率飆升，油輪每天的收入顯著。國際運輸工人聯合會已將該海峽指定為 “戰爭作業區”，增強了對船員的保護。局勢依然不穩定，攻擊風險持續存在，其他航運公司的保險面臨潛在挑戰</p>

<div class="lb-trans"><p>79 歲的普羅科皮烏在俄羅斯入侵烏克蘭後表示，“制裁從未奏效”，他在航運行業中是一個頗具爭議的人物。</p>

<div class="lb-trans"><p>自衝突開始以來，至少有九艘貨船在該地區遭到襲擊，三名海員遇難。</p>
</div><p>However, the rewards for making the journey are significant. Freight rates have more than doubled in a week, with a tanker sailing through the strait to China now earning about $500,000 (£374,000) a day, according to price-reporting agency Argus.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>然而，進行這一航程的回報是顯著的。根據價格報告機構 Argus 的數據，運費在一週內翻了一番，穿越海峽駛往中國的油輪現在每天可賺取約 50 萬美元（374,000 英鎊）。</p>

</div><h2>‘Unique’ insurance arrangements</h2>

<div class="lb-trans"><p>她表示，這家希臘公司必須談判 “獨特” 的保險安排以恢復運營，而其他航運公司不太可能跟隨，因為大多數保險公司會對這樣的條款感到畏懼。</p>
