Records exchanged reveal gray areas

Bruno Lauret questions the real motives behind the “cover-up” of the “Wakashio” disaster. He always wonders if, in addition to the responsibility for the contamination of 1,000 tons of fuel, we are also hiding drug trafficking.

Government refuses to release shipwreck inquest report MV Wakashio Further raising suspicions, the grounded vessel had been visited by people close to power, and many other disturbing facts surrounding the wreck. However, the reasons for the ship’s grounding were soon overshadowed by pollution from the bulk carrier, and especially the authorities’ negligence in preventing the ship’s fuel from leaking into the lagoon and onto land. Wakashio July 2020 in Cap d’Esny.

But why did the ship venture so close to our shores? According to reports from the Japanese and Panamanian investigations, the captain wanted to allow the sailors access to the Mauritian mobile network so they could contact their families. “Fake!” Bruneau Laurette insisted in a video that was broadcast on the internet on Sunday, in which he recalled the sinking of the Panamanian-flagged ship, which belonged to Japan’s Mitsui OSK Lines, at 7:25 p.m. on July 25, 2020. “They could have used satellite communications.” In addition, he cited Japan Transport Safety Board, Mobile network reception is available ten kilometers from the coast. “Why did Ruochao come to a place less than 1.7 kilometers from our coast?” In fact, according to him, if the Wakashio was searching for a local network, it might have been able to communicate with its contacts without being detected. “The use of satellite communications would have alerted the charter company, which had provided satellite communications free of charge to the sailors on board.”

There are so many coincidences in such a short time.

According to both investigation reports, Indian Captain Sunil Kumar Nandeshwar ordered his mate to approach our island to capture our network before a crew member celebrated his birthday. However, his good intentions and the glass of whiskey he took were not the only reasons for the accident, which was also caused by the first mate’s inconsiderateness and misjudgment of the direction the ship was heading. That’s not all. The first mate also didn’t realize that the ship was heading directly towards the sandbar because he was busy playing with his mobile phone. And the captain? Even when he returned to the bridge, he didn’t see the danger coming. There’s more.

Left-handedElectronic chart display and information system There was no help for the captain and his mates, as they thought the map did not show the details of the location. Bruno Lauret pointed out that under maritime law and practice, for obvious safety reasons, ship parties were only organized on the high seas and never so close to the coast. For him, there were too many coincidences.

Another fact pointed out by the activist is that although Pravind Jugnauth confirmed in Parliament on August 28, 2020, “The National Coast Guard contacted MV Wakashio Five voyages from 18:15 until the ship ran aground at 19:25 on July 25, 2020,” According to page 2 of the communication record in his possession, in fact, there was no communication between the two parties. National Coast Guard (NCG) and Wakashio before grounding (see file). He added that this lack of communication also contradicts former Assistant Inspector General of Police Roshan Kokil, who confirmed that if Voyage Data Recorder (VDR) You Wakashio is empty, this is not because the NCG is not trying to communicate with the bulk carrier, but because the VDR is turned off, tuned to another frequency, its antenna is disconnected or the volume of the VDR is turned down.

Batch transfer

According to Bruneau Laurette, if there had been an attempt on the part of the NCG to communicate but it had failed, this would have been noted in the transcript. For him, the NCG did not attempt to contact Wakashio It proves that the Prime Minister misled Parliament on August 28, 2020, but more importantly, Wakashio was allowed to come and go freely. “Doing what he has to do”. He invites us to review the chronology of events. On July 21, 2020, the Wakashio changed course and headed for Mauritius. On July 22, intelligence officers at the police station were alerted to the arrival of a large amount of drugs. On the 23rd, Wakashio Entering our territorial waters. On the 24th, these officers were transferred to other units. Wakashio Stranded at Pointe d’Esny.

The activist said the Wakashio had been operating between Southeast Asia and Australia for a year and in 2020 was heading to Brazil, specifically the port of Tubarão in Espirito Santo state, which is known as a drug port. In these areas, he said, drugs were seized from boats hidden under the hulls. “Especially in the front. And coincidentally, it was this part of the Wakashio that sank on the high seas. Bruno Lauret recalled that the sinking of the Wakashio’s bow went against the advice of French Foreign Minister Sébastien Le Cornu, who had requested that the bow be scuttled until French experts arrived. "We didn’t wait for them to come," He said, recalling that according to the report of the Japanese Transport Safety Board, it was indeed the Mauritian government that ordered the scuttling of the bow of the Wakashio on the high seas, Bruno Lauret wondered if the government was worried about drugs. Found on the bow of the Wakashio. He also spoke about the mysterious death of several dolphins. Yesterday we asked Lauret, who died of a drug overdose. “It’s up to people’s judgement.” As a reminder, the autopsy results of these dolphins have never been communicated.

“What should I do after I get the money?”

The ship’s VDR reportedly recorded a conversation with the captain before the ship sank at 7:18 pm: “If we don’t get it now, then we’re not going to get it.” This led Laurette to say that the captain was waiting for an agreement to be reached. At 7:21 p.m., the captain asked: “So, what do I do when I get the money?” At 7:36 p.m., just after touchdown, he was heard saying: “Call everyone here; get rid of all this…” Bruneau Laurette wondered if the captain was talking about the inability to deliver the drugs to three nearby ships. If the tide. That’s why the activist believes that if the government decides to sink the ship If the tide, This way the divers from Smit Salvage Ltd would not find the drugs in the front of the boat.

Bruneau Laurette denied the information Wakashio “It broke in two on August 16, 2020. For him, if the bulk carrier’s structure was indeed damaged, it was not broken. In fact, we heard explosions coming from the wreckage the day before (August 15),” he said. “We will separate the two parts to implement the government’s order to remove the front part of the ship.” And played a video so that we could see the flash of the explosion on the ship. “The person who gave me this video has been threatened by the authorities.” He believes the government is complicit with the charterer and the owner of the Wakashio. He finds it odd that the Mauritian government chose to appoint Junichiro Ikeda, president of Mitsui OSK Lines, as honorary consul of Mauritius in Japan, 14 days before the report was released.
