Abstract

Le 23 décembre 2010, un cargo transportant 350 000 kilogrammes (kg) de concentré de minerai d’uranium (U3O8) appartenant à l’entreprise canadienne d’exploitation des ressources Cameco Corporation, quittait le port de Vancouver, en Colombie-Britannique (Canada) et se trouvait confronté à des conditions météorologiques violentes dans les eaux internationales entre Hawaii et les îles Midway alors qu’il était en route pour Zhanjiang, en Chine. Le navire, le MCP Altona, bien qu’ayant subi des dommages à la coque, put continuer à naviguer dans la tempête. Une fois la mer calmée, l’équipage constata que certains conteneurs avaient été renversés et endommagés. Le capitaine ne put cependant pas obtenir les autorisations nécessaires pour s’abriter dans un port de refuge à proximité étant donné qu’il n’y avait aucun risque immédiat pour la santé et la sécurité de l’équipage. Sur recommandation de Cameco, le cargo est retourné en Colombie- Britannique.
