The authorities reported the complete pumping out of fuel oil from the sunken tankers.
The work on pumping out the fuel oil from the fragments of the tankers "Volgoneft-212" and "Volgoneft-239", which sank as a result of the crash in the Kerch Strait in December 2024, has been completed. The permit documents from Rospotrebnadzor have already been received by 111 beaches in Anapa.
As reported by "Caucasian Knot", in August, satellite imagery from Planet recorded the continuation of the leak of oil products from the sunken tankers "Volgoneft" in the Kerch Strait.
Satellite images indicate that a leak of oil products has resumed from the sunken bow section of the tanker "Volgoneft-239" in the Kerch Strait. The leak may be related to the increase in water temperature and the work on pumping out fuel oil from the tankers. Amid reports of the opening of beaches, there is silence regarding the work on pumping out fuel oil from the sunken tankers, users pointed out. Neither the operational headquarters of Kuban nor the government commission for eliminating the consequences of the emergency provides information on the progress of the fuel oil pumping work. At the end of July, satellites recorded an oil slick near the tanker "Volgoneft-239", as well as a leak from the stern of the tanker "Volgoneft-212".
Specialists have completed the work on pumping out fuel oil from the tankers "Volgoneft-212" and "Volgoneft-239", which sank in the Kerch Strait in December 2024. This was announced today at a meeting of the government commission for eliminating the consequences of the emergency in the Kerch Strait.
According to the commission, the replenishment of the beach areas affected by the emergency has also been completed. The permit documents from Rospotrebnadzor have already been received by 111 beaches in Anapa. Monitoring of the Black Sea waters, as well as the coast of the Krasnodar Territory and the Republic of Crimea, continues. No cases of oil product discharges have been recorded along the coastline, reports the press service of the Russian government.
The results of the completed work have been confirmed by a special commission, which included representatives of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, Rosprirodnadzor, and the Marine Rescue Service. The number of personnel and equipment involved in eliminating the consequences of the emergency is 758 people and 187 units of equipment, clarified the government commission.
"Caucasian Knot" also reported that the court confirmed the guilt of the acting captain of the seaport of Caucasus, Evgeny Skorchenko, who disputed the conclusions of Rostransnadzor regarding his involvement in the sinking of the tankers in the Kerch Strait.
Fuel oil was found on all beaches in Anapa, along the coast in the Temryuk district (from the village of Veselovka to the stanitsa of Blagoveshchenskaya) and on the coast of the Azov Sea in the Slavyansky district of Kuban, according to the report of the "Caucasian Knot" "The scale of pollution in southern Russia with fuel oil".
