to the #Kavkaz port on the #Russian coast of the #Kerch_Strait
However, some voyages are currently delayed for unknown reasons, while other vessels have turned off the #AIS vessel identification system, so it is impossible to determine the location of the tankers.
One such vessel is the #Volgoneft_109. On December 17, just two days after the disaster involving #Volgoneft_239 and #Volgoneft_212 in the #Kerch_Strait, its captain issued a distress signal
December 17. The #Rubin rescue vessel was sent to the emergency tanker to tow it to the port.
Before that, on the night of December 16-17, a distress signal was given by the #Volgoneft_109 tanker, which was near the port of #Kavkaz with 4000 tons of fuel oil on board The ship's captain reported a breach of the seal of the fourth cargo tank and leakage of fuel oil, which got into the ballast tank.
On December 15, two tankers – #Volgoneft_212 and #Volgoneft_239 – crashed in the #Kerch_Strait.
"More environmental damage caused by #russia!"

It is reported that after the wreck of #Volgoneft_239 and #Volgoneft_212 tankers, oil products were carried ashore.
"What! Only one?" 🤔
#Russian oil tanker "#Volgoneft_212" is in distress near the #Kerch_Strait, #Russian media report.
The ship is carrying 4000 tons of mazut, a low-grade fuel oil. 13 crew members are also reportedly on board.
The tanker was allegedly broken in half by waves and is sinking rapidly. This is the second #Volgoneft ship to be wrecked by waves in recent memory—this is allegedly due to poor workmanship when the ship was upgraded.
