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, on January 29, the owner of the "Volgoneft-239" announced the intentional grounding of the tanker on the shoal. The crew of the vessel made such a decision in order to possibly prevent the spillage of fuel oil, which remained in the tanks after the wreck. In addition, this contributed to saving the lives of the crew members.
