Amanani e-melamine emakethe yaseYurophu akhuphuke ngoDisemba 2023 njengoba isidingo sefenisha sanda emasontweni ambalwa edlule kanye nokuhlaselwa kwabavukeli baseHouthi oLwandle Olubomvu kwaphazamisa izindlela ezibalulekile zokuhweba zomhlaba wonke. Lokhu kube nomthelela omkhulu emnothweni ofana neJalimane. Nakuba intengo ye-urea yehle kancane, iJalimane, njengenkampani ethumela ifenisha eyinhloko e-EU, isalokhu iyimakethe enenzuzo embonini yefenisha. Imakethe yefenisha yaseJalimane ithanda ifenisha eyenziwe ngezinto zemvelo kanye nomklamo omusha, ikakhulukazi esigabeni sefenisha yasekhishini, lapho ukuthengisa, ubuchwepheshe kanye nomklamo omusha wemikhiqizo kukhula khona. Esikhathini esifushane, imakethe kulindeleke ukuthi iqhutshwe yisidingo esikhulayo sama-laminate enkuni, izimbozo kanye nezinamathiselo ezivela embonini yokwakha.
Ukusetshenziswa kwe-melamine kukhule eminyakeni yamuva nje njengoba umnotho womhlaba uthuthuka futhi izimboni ezifana nefenisha nezimoto zithuthuka. Kodwa-ke, ukusetshenziswa kwe-melamine kwehle ngo-2020 ngenxa yobhubhane lwe-COVID-19, oluthinte umnotho womhlaba kanye nezimboni ezifana nokwakha kanye nezimoto. Ukusetshenziswa kwe-melamine kwabuya ngo-2021, kodwa kwaba nokwehla okuthile ekupheleni kuka-2022 ngenxa yokuwohloka komnotho womhlaba. Kodwa-ke, ukusetshenziswa kwenyuka kancane ngo-2023 futhi kulindeleke ukuthi kukhuphuke kancane eminyakeni ezayo.
ULwandle Olubomvu lube ngaphansi kokuhlaselwa okwandayo yizihlubuki zaseHouthi emasontweni amuva nje, okuphazamisa imizila ebalulekile yokuhweba emhlabeni wonke futhi kulimaze umnotho njengeJalimane. I-Melamine iyikhemikhali evamile enalo mphumela. IJalimane iyinkampani ethumela ngaphandle i-melamine ebalulekile futhi ithembele kakhulu ekuthunyelweni okuvela emazweni afana neShayina neTrinidad neTobago. Njengoba ukuhlasela kweHouthi kusongela ukuphepha kokuthunyelwa kwemikhumbi oLwandle Olubomvu, okuyindlela enkulu yemikhiqizo engeniswayo, amanani e-melamine akhuphuka. Imikhumbi ethwala i-melamine neminye imithwalo ibhekane nokubambezeleka kanye nokuphambuka, okuholele ekukhuphukeni kwezindleko zikaphethiloli nezinkinga zokuhamba kwabangenisi, ekugcineni kwanyusa amanani e-melamine emachwebeni aseJalimane. Ukwanda kwezingozi zokuphepha oLwandle Olubomvu nakho kuholele ekukhuphukeni okukhulu kwamaphrimiyamu omshuwalense ezinkampanini zokuthumela, okwandisa izindleko zokugcina zokungeniswa kwe-melamine. Ukwanda okuqhubekayo kwamanani kuthinta abathengi eJalimane nangale. Ukuhlaselwa okuhlomile ngamaHouthi akuthinti nje kuphela intengo ye-melamine, kodwa futhi kwaholela ekwandeni kwezindleko zokuthumela. Izinkampani ezinkulu zokuthumela zenyuse izimali ezengeziwe ngenxa yokuhamba ngemikhumbi isikhathi eside e-Afrika, okwandisa umthwalo wezindleko kubangenisi baseJalimane. Izindleko zokuthutha ezikhuphukayo zikhulisa amanani e-melamine akhuphukayo, okubeka lonke uchungechunge lokuhlinzeka engcupheni yokwenyuka kwezindleko kanye nokuntuleka okungenzeka. IJalimane, ethembele kakhulu ekungenisweni kwe-LNG ngomthombo wayo wamandla, ibhekene nezinselelo njengoba ukubambezeleka kwezimpahla ezibalulekile oLwandle Olubomvu kubangela ukuba amanani e-LNG akhuphuke. Amanani aphezulu e-LNG athinta kakhulu izindleko zokukhiqizwa kwe-melamine. I-ChemAnalyst ilindele ukuthi isidingo se-melamine siqhubeke nokukhuphuka ezinyangeni ezizayo, ngokuhambisana nokuphazamiseka kokunikezwa kwezimpahla oLwandle Olubomvu kanye nesidingo esikhulu esivela ezimbonini ezingezansi, ikakhulukazi imboni yezimoto.
