关于MOL COMFORT这艘船断裂沉没的问题， =^_^= 在文章日本造船象征走下“神坛”留下评论，给大家回忆了一下这艘船悲惨的一生，随后梦非若无对该船沉没的时间进行了补充说明。我找了一点这艘船的资料，继续丰富一下二位朋友的信息，供大家参考。限于本人英语水平实在有限，大家多多指正。

根据维基百科上的介绍，这艘船的基本情况如下：

这船前后还有两个东家，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号是2008年建造的、悬挂巴哈马国旗的巴拿马型集装箱船，由三井O.S.K.株式会社(Mitsui O.S.K. Lines)租用。2013年6月17日，她在距爷们海岸200海里处断成两截，。船尾部在6月27日沉没，船首部在7月11日被大火摧毁后沉没。

所以是5年后沉没，后面的兄弟说的是对的。

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船在恶劣天气下在船体中部发生裂缝，时间约为200海里(370公里);(230英里)在也门海岸附近，最终分裂成两半。这艘船从新加坡驶往沙特阿拉伯吉达，装载了4,382个集装箱，相当于7,041 TEU。26名船员中，11名俄罗斯人、1名乌克兰人和14名菲律宾人弃船而去，悬挂德国国旗的集装箱船盐田快车(Yantian Express)把他们从两艘救生筏和一艘救生艇上救起。结构破坏后，两段均保持漂浮状态，大部分货物未受损，开始向东北偏东方向漂移。新加坡救援公司把他们拖向了安全地带。

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，四艘远洋拖船抵达现场，开始将船首部拖至安全地带。然而，6月26日，在打捞工作开始之前，船位开始进水。[8]第二天,船尾沉没在14°26′N 66°26′E，深度4000米(13000英尺)处。后来证实，船上1700个集装箱的一部分漂浮于出事地点周围。虽然没有重大的石油泄漏报告，但据说船尾部含有大约1500吨的燃料

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，在恶劣天气[10]的情况下，船首部的拖缆断了，但拖缆第二天又重新接上了。[6] 7月6日，在艏部后部发生火灾。在恶劣的天气下，救援船只无法控制火势，只得向一艘配备外部消防设备的印度海岸警卫队巡逻艇求助。到7月10日，船上2 400个集装箱中的大部分已被大火烧毁。[12]受损弓部分沉没第二天晚上，连同剩下的货物和1600吨然后，受损部分沉没在19°56 N′65°25′E的3000米深的海底。除了表面的一层薄油膜外，没有任何泄漏的报道，但是一些集装箱被发现漂浮在沉没地点周围。火灾的原因仍不清楚。
