Ship's day: those responsible for fuel oil spill do not help with cleanup efforts

Why the president demanded an audit of the tanker fleet and what ship owners invested in instead of repairing them

Earlier in the day, the Minister of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Russian Federation Alexander Kozlov during a field meeting of the governmental commission on liquidation of the consequences of the incident said that the beaches of the Black Sea resorts after the accident with tankers in the Kerch Strait will be brought to a normal condition by the summer season.

The day before, the head of the Ministry of Natural Resources said that the Russian government will allocate 1.5 billion rubles to reimburse the costs of liquidation of the consequences of the wreck of tankers in the Black Sea. According to Kozlov, three priority deposits of quartz sand near Anapa have already been identified, from where the resource will be taken to restore beaches after their cleaning.

Tankers "Volgoneft-212" and "Volgoneft-239" due to bad weather crashed in the Kerch Strait on December 15, 2024. The incident resulted in a spill of oil products. 27 people were evacuated from both vessels, one person died. On the instructions of the Russian President, a working group was set up to coordinate the work to eliminate the consequences of the emergency.
