Re: Cobas AM: Nueva Gestora de Francisco García Paramés
en los tribunales de Inglaterra hay una demanda de los familiares de un trabajador fallecido en un desguace de Bangladesh, alegando que el broker que intervino en la venta del barco es responsable y conocía las lamentables condiciones en que se desarrollan esos trabajos de demontaje.
Parece que el juez da luz verde a que el caso se juzgue.
Esto podía impactar (a la baja) en los precios del scrapping, si suben los costes de los desguaces o simplemente los tienen que hacer en países con más normas de seguridad:
" Beaches near the Bangladeshi port of Chittagong are no place for tourists.
Ships are sent there to die.
Once beached, the vessels are set upon by tens of thousands of poorly paid workers, including many children.
They scramble barefoot over hulls to cut through wire and steel, without protective gear. Workers are frequently killed and seriously injured.
The Chittagong wrecking yard faces legal scrutiny over claims that a British company caused the death of a worker, according to a High Court ruling in London. Mr Justice Jay said that a
widow whose husband was killed while dismantling an oil tanker could bring a claim against the UK broker involved in the vessel’s sale. He rejected an attempt by Maran, the shipping
company, to have Hamida Begum’s claim thrown out on the grounds that it stood no chance of
succeeding. The judge told the company, based in Westminster, central London, there was an arguable case that it owed a duty of care to Mohammed Khalil Mollah.
Lawyers for Ms Begum said that Mr Justice Jay’s approval of the case would “send shockwaves around the shipping industry”.
Mr Justice Jay ruled this week it was arguable that Maran had influence over where the tanker Maran Centaurus was scrapped.
He said the company accepted that the method of demolition was “inherently dangerous”.
