گالاكسي ليدر (Galaxy Leader)، هي سفينة دحرجة حاملة للسيارات بُنيت عام 2002 في ستوكزنيا گدنيا، گدنيا، پولندا. كانت تشغلها شركة الشحن اليابانية نيپون يوسن، وتملكها شركة گالاكسي البحرية، المملوكة بدورها لشركة راي لحاملات السيارات، المملوكة بشكل مشترك لرجل الأعمال الإسرائيلي أبراهام أونگار. في نوفمبر 2023، اختطف الحوثيون السفينة، واحتجزوها هي وطاقمها الكون من 25 شخصاً في اليمن.

المواصفات التقنية

The vehicle carrier is powered by a Sulzer 7-cylinder, two-stroke diesel engine of type 7RTA-62U with a power of 15،540 kW (20،840 hp). The engine drives a propeller. Three generators, powered by two MAN diesel engines of type 7L28/32H and one MAN diesel engine of type 6L28/32H, are available for power generation. Additionally, there is an emergency generator driven by another diesel engine of type MAN D 2866. The ship is equipped with an electrically driven bow thruster. Galaxy Leader has two loading ramps. The stern ramp has a capacity of 120 tons. The second ramp with lower capacity is located midships on the starboard side. The ship has six decks, interconnected by ramps. The vehicle capacity is approximately 4,500 Car Equivalent Units.

البناء، العمل، والملكية

The ship, assigned yard number 8213/1, was constructed at the Stocznia Gdynia shipyard in Gdynia, Poland, in 2002. Keel laying took place on November 5, 2001, and the launch occurred on May 18, 2002. The ship was completed on June 26, 2002. It is one of two identical ships; the sister ship is the Global Leader. Both ships are managed by STAMCO Shipmanagement in Piraeus, Greece.[3]

The ship's registered owner is Galaxy Maritime Ltd., a company registered in the Isle of Man, and its flag state is the Bahamas; at the time of its seizure, the ship was chartered by the Japanese shipping company Nippon Yūsen K.K.,[4][5] which is also known as NYK Line.[6] Galaxy Maritime Ltd. is owned by the Isle of Man shipping company Ray Car Carriers,[6][5] of which the beneficial owners are Abraham (Rami) Ungar and Yael Ungar.[7]

اختطافها عام 2023

في 19 نوفمبر 2023، كانت السفينة گالاكسي ليدر في رحلة من كورفز، تركيا إلى پيپاڤاڤ، الهند، عندما اختطفها الحوثيون في البحر الأحمر بالقرب من مدينة الحديدة الساحلية اليمنية.[8][9][4] انخرط الحوثيون في سلسلة من الهجمات على الشحن التجاري في البحر الأحمر، مما أثر على شحن الحاويات[10] وصناعات التأمين البحري العالمية.[11]

واستخدم ما لا يقل عن عشرة مسلحين من الحوثيين مروحية عسكرية للصعود على متن السفينة.[12] وبعد الاستيلاء على السفينة اقتادوها إلى الحديدة.[13][14] كان على متن السفينة گالاكسي ليدر طاقم مكون من 25 شخصاً، من بيهم 17 من الفليپين؛ وبقية الطاقم من بلغاريا (بما فيهم القبطان ومساعده)، أوكرانيا، المكسيك، ورومانيا.[14][13] ووصفت شركة أمبري لإدارة المخاطر البحرية عملية الاختطاف بأنها متطورة وتحمل بصمات عملياتية على الطراز الإيراني.[15] سجل الحوثيون هجومهم بالڤيديو ونشروا اللقطات في اليوم التالي.[16][17]

في نوفمبر 2023 صرح مسؤول دفاعي أمريكي لوكالة أسوشيتد پرس أن الخاطفين يبدو أنهم تلقوا تدريباً من قبل جيش محترف، ربما الجيش الإيراني.[15] تدعم الحكومة الإيرانية الحوثيين، وصرحت الحكومة الأمريكية في ديسمبر 2023 إن المساعدة العملياتية والاستخباراتية الإيرانية سهلت هجمات الحوثيين على السفن التجارية في البحر الأحمر.[18] وأنكرت الحكومة الإيرانية علاقتها بالأمر.[18][15]

لقد هدد اختطاف السفينة گالاكسي ليدر، فضلاً عن سلسلة من الهجمات الحوثية بالمسيرات والصواريخ على السفن التجارية في مضيق باب المندب المؤدي إلى البحر الأحمر، طرق الشحن العالمية. وقد دفع هذا إلى بدء عملية حارس الازدهار في ديسمبر/كانون الأو 2023، وهي عملية متعددة الأطراف تضم عشر دول لحماية الشحن في المنطقة.[19][20] إن هذا الجهد، الذي يتم تحت رعاية قوة المهام المشتركة 153، تقوده البحرية الأمريكية، بمشاركة البحرية الملكية، والبحرين، وكندا، وفرنسا، وإيطاليا، وهولندا، والنرويج، وسيشل، وإسپانيا.[20]

الطاقم المحتجز

Houthis held the 25 crew members as hostages,[21] consisting of 17 Filipinos, two Bulgarians, three Ukrainians, two Mexicans, and one Romanian. Filipino foreign affairs official Eduardo de Vega stated, in March 2024, that he does not expect the hostages to be released until the war in Gaza is over.[22]

The Houthis turned the ship into a tourist attraction.[23] After the ship was seized and brought to Hodeidah, Yemeni visitors were brought (via motor boat) to Galaxy Leader for tours; some took selfies as rifle-toting Yemenis patrolled the deck,[23][5] and Yemeni social media influencers danced on board the ship.[24] Pro-Hamas graffiti was also scrawled on the ship.[5] The Houthis also used the ship as a set for a propaganda music video (entitled “Axis of Jihad"), in which Houthi poet Issa al-Laith appears on deck and sings "Death to America and hostile Zion/ By God, we shall not be defeated!"[25]

The whereabouts of the hostages are not publicly known.[23] Galaxy Maritime repeatedly called for release of its 25 crew members,[26][27] saying that they "have no connection whatsoever" to the ongoing Israel–Hamas war, and that "Nothing can be achieved by their further detention."[27] The ship owner also said that the crew members had been allowed "modest contact" with their families and were being treated "as well as can be expected in the circumstances".[27] At an assembly of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the United States, the Bahamas, and Japan condemned the hijacking of Galaxy Leader as well as other Houthi acts that threatened freedom of navigation. The countries called for the unconditional release of the vessel's captain and crew.[27] The U.S. Department of State said that the seizure was "a flagrant violation of international law".[13]

On 22 January 2024, IMO Secretary General Arsenio Dominguez gave an opening address to the 10th Session of the IMO Sub-Committee on Ship Design and Construction (SDC), repeating his calls for the immediate release of Galaxy Leader and its crew.[28][29] Satellite imagery revealed that, in late February or early March 2024, the ship was brought closer to the Hodeidah, being moved from 2 km offshore to about 500 m from the port.[22]

By March 2024, the crew had been held hostage for more than a hundred days; the Philippines Department of Foreign Affairs said there was no indication that the Houthis planned to release the crew.[22] A Houthi spokesman, Nasr Al-Din Amer, claimed that the Houthis had "no claims of our own regarding this vessel" and that they had turned over the ship and hostages to Hamas and its Al-Qassam Brigades.[22] A team from the International Committee of the Red Cross visited Galaxy Leader's crew for the first time on 12 May 2024.[30]

On 22 January 2025, during the Israel–Hamas ceasefire, the Houthis released the hostages to Oman, according to Al-Masirah.[31] An Omani Royal Air Force jet that entered Yemen earlier that day took off around an hour before the announcement. The Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Filipino President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. confirmed the crew's release.[32]
