Na Konela Ann Wright, World BEYOND War,ʻApelila 29, 2022
Wahi a nā nūhou kūloko ma Kitsap, Wakinekona, ua manaʻo ʻia e lawe ma kahi o ʻeiwa makahiki e hoʻopau ai i ʻeono mau pahu pahu ma luna o ka honua pani a pani ʻia he 33 mau pahu wahie o ka Navy ma lalo o ka ʻāina ma ka pūʻali koa US Manchester Fuel Depot ma Manchester, Wakinekona a e lilo ana ke Keʻena ʻOihana ma kahi o $200 miliona.
Ua lawe i ka 'Oihana Defence (DOD) 3 makahiki e hoʻomaka i ka hana ma ka pani ʻana i nā pahu ma hope o ka hoʻoholo ʻana. ʻO ka hoʻoholo e pani a wehe i nā pahu waihona wahie 33 ma lalo o ka honua a kūkulu i ʻeono mau pahu ma luna o ka honua i hana ʻia ma 2018 akā ʻaʻole i hoʻomaka ka hana e pani i ka hale a hiki i Iulai 2021.
Hiki i kēlā me kēia o nā pahu pahu hou eono ma luna o ka honua ke loaʻa he 5.2 miliona galani o JP-5 ka wahie mokulele mokulele a i ʻole F-76 marine diesel wahie i loko o 64-kapuai-kiʻekiʻe, 140-kapuaʻi-ākea pahu i kūkulu ʻia me nā kolamu kila welded. i kākoʻo ʻia nā kaupaku cone paʻa. Ma kahi kokoke 75 miliona mau galani mālama ʻia ma Manchester Fuel Depot i kēia manawa.
Ma kēlā pālākiō, he ʻumikūmāwalu+ mau makahiki e hoʻopau ai a pani i Red Hill, me ka manaʻo he 180 miliona mau galani wahie.
No laila, he mea ko'iko'i ka ho'oikaika 'ana o ke kama'āina e ho'omau i nā wāwae o DOD i ke ahi no ka ho'opau 'ana i nā pahu pahu 'o Red Hill ma mua o ka hiki 'ana mai o kekahi lika wahie ma O'ahu nei.. !
Ke hoʻomau nei ka poʻe kamaʻāina i ka neʻe ʻana o ka pūʻali koa US e pani iā Red Hill, ke kū nei ke Keʻena ʻo Defence i nā luʻi i ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā pahu mālama lalo, kahi hoʻoholo a lākou i hana ai i mau makahiki i hala.
I kēia manawa ke alo nei lākou i kahi pilikia logistic o kahi e waiho ai i ka wahie. Akā, ʻaʻole pono e ʻae ʻia ka lōʻihi o ka hoʻoholo ʻana a DOD e hoʻomau i ka pilikia o ka wai inu o Honolulu.
Ua hoʻoholo ʻo DOD i kekahi mau hoʻoholo nui ma nā wahi ʻē aʻe no kāna lako wahie ma mua o ka leak wahie ʻo Red Hill i Nowemapa 2021 a ʻo kēlā mau hoʻoholo i pili iā Australia.
I Kepakemapa 2021, ua hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻo Australia, UK, a me ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i ka ʻaelike palekana i hoʻolaha maikaʻi ʻia, i kapa ʻia ʻo "AUKUS" e ʻae ai i ka kaʻana like ʻana i nā ʻenehana pale kaua kiʻekiʻe a me ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā ʻaelike pūʻali koa Australia i ka ʻike e pili ana i ke kūkulu ʻana i nā submarines nuklea. ʻo ka ʻoluʻolu o Farani i loaʻa ka ʻaelike e kūʻai aku i nā submarines diesel iā Australia.
Ma Kepakemapa 2021 hoʻi, i ka manawa like i kau inoa ʻia ai ka ʻaelike AUKUS, ua hāʻawi ke aupuni US i kahi ʻaelike no ke kūkulu ʻana i kahi papahana $270 miliona kālā no kahi hale mālama wahie mokulele e mālama ai i 60 miliona mau galani wahie ma 11 ma luna o nā pahu mālama honua. kākoʻo i nā hana kaua ʻAmelika ma ka Pākīpika. Ua hoʻomaka ke kūkulu ʻia ʻana o ka hale mahiʻai pahu i Ianuali 2022 a ua hoʻonohonoho ʻia e hoʻopau ʻia i loko o ʻelua makahiki.
Ma Guam, me kahi ka heluna kanaka o 153,000 a me ka heluna pūʻali koa o 21,700 me nā ʻohana, Hoʻouna ʻia ka wahie koa i loko o nā hale mālama nui ma Guam Naval Base.
Ka hooponopono ana o 12 pahu wahie me ka hiki ke mālama i 38 Ua hoʻopau ʻia nā miliona mau galani ma Andersen Air Base ma Guam.
Kakauolelo o Defence Austin's Malaki 7, 2022 ka paʻi kiʻi ua hōʻike ʻia e hoʻonui ana ʻo DOD i kāna dispersal fueling ma ke kai hiki ke hoʻokō i ka lawe ʻia ʻana o Red Hill mai ka ʻoihana wahie Pākīpika.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Austin, "Ma hope o ke kūkākūkā pili ʻana me nā alakaʻi kīwila a me nā pūʻali koa nui, ua hoʻoholo wau e hoʻopau i ka wahie a pani mau i ka hale mālama wahie nui o Red Hill ma Hawaii. Ma ka 1943, i ka wā i kūkulu ʻia ai ʻo Red Hill, ʻo ka waiho ʻana i ka wahie nui o kēia nui. A ua lawelawe maikaʻi ʻo Red Hill i kā mākou pūʻali koa no nā makahiki he nui. Akā, ʻoi aku ka emi o ka manaʻo i kēia manawa.
ʻO ke ʻano puʻupuʻu a me ka ikaika o kā mākou kūlana ikaika i ka Indo-Pacific, nā hoʻoweliweli paʻakikī a mākou e kū nei, a me ka ʻenehana i loaʻa iā mākou e koi i ka hiki ke hoʻonui i ka wahie. Ma kahi ʻano nui, ua hoʻohana mua mākou iā mākou iho i ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻia ʻana o ka wahie ma ke kai a i uka, mau a me ka hoʻololi ʻana. E hoʻonui mākou i kēia manawa a hoʻolōʻihi i kēlā mahele hoʻolālā. "
Eia naʻe, i ka wā o ka Trump Administration, US Maritime Administrator Rear Admiral Mark Buzby ua ao pinepine aku i ka Ahaolelo ʻAʻole i lawa nā moku holo moku a i ʻole nā mea lawaiʻa kālepa kūpono i ka US Merchant Marine no ke kaua ʻana i kahi kaua palena ʻole.
Wahi a nā loea US Merchant Marine i ka hoʻoholo ʻAʻole noʻonoʻo ʻo Red Hill i ka makahiki a me ke kūlana o ka US Military Sealift Command tanker fleet, nā moku i kuleana no ka hoʻopiha piha ʻana i ke kai o nā moku a me nā mokulele. ʻIke ʻia e ka poʻe akamai hana moku ʻaʻole hiki iā Austin ke loaʻa ke kālā a i ʻole nā hale moku e pono ai ke kūkulu i nā ʻauwaʻa moku kalepa me "ka hiki ke holomua a kūpaʻa hoʻi.
I ka pane ʻana, ua hāʻawi ʻo Congress i kahi ana pilikia i ka makahiki 2021 i kapa ʻia ʻo US Tanker Security Program. I loko o kēia bila, uku ʻo ʻAmelika i nā hui pilikino ʻelua e like me Maersk i kahi stipend e hoʻihoʻi hou i kā lākou tankers "ʻAmelika."
"ʻO ka hana palekana tanker he hana hoʻomaha hoʻomaha," wahi a kekahi luna o MARAD blog nūhou pūnaewele gCaptain ninaninauia. "ʻAʻole hiki ke hoʻokō i nā pono maʻamau o kā mākou pūʻali koa a ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻololi i nā mana ma Red Hill. Ua kuhi hewa ʻole a hoʻopunipuni paha ke Kakauolelo o ka Defence inā manaʻo ʻo ia.
ʻO ka maikaʻi ʻole o ka hoʻolālā ʻana o ka 'Oihana Palekana ʻaʻole ia he kumu e hoʻomau ai i ka hoʻopilikia ʻana i ka wai inu o nā kamaʻāina o Oʻahu. Pono e pani koke ʻia nā pahu pahu wahie jet Red Hill…. ʻaʻole i loko o ʻeiwa mau makahiki!
E ʻoluʻolu e hui pū me ka Sierra Club, Earthjustice, Oahu Water Protectors a me ka Hawaii Peace and Justice a me nā hui ʻē aʻe no ke kaomi ʻana o ka Congressional, ka hōʻike ma ka pae aupuni, mokuʻāina, kalana a me nā kaiāulu, ka hawewe hōʻailona, a me nā hana ʻē aʻe e hōʻoia i ka ʻike o ka pūʻali koa ke koi nei mākou. e hoʻopau ʻia nā pahu pahu Red Hill a pani ʻia i kahi manawa pōkole loa ma mua o ka Manchester Fuel Depot.
No ka mea kākau: Ua lawelawe ʻo Ann Wright i 29 mau makahiki ma ka US Army/Army Reserves a ua hoʻomaha ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he Kolonela. He diplomat ʻAmelika ʻo ia no 16 mau makahiki a lawelawe ʻo ia ma US Embassies ma Nicaragua, Grenada, Somalia, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Sierra Leone, Micronesia, Afghanistan a me Mongolia. Ua haʻalele ʻo ia mai ke aupuni US ma 2003 e kūʻē i ke kaua US ma Iraq. ʻO ia ka mea kākau pū o "Dissent: Voices of Conscience."
