Oil has leaked into the strait from two ships which ran into trouble during bad weather on 15 December. Volgoneft-239 ran aground following the storm, while Volgoneft-212 sank.
My understanding was that they were really never intended to be used in the open sea and probably hadn’t been maintained very well either.
I mean, I know that you’re referring to the Clarke and Dawe skit, but seriously, Russia has been averaging losing more than an oil tanker a month.
Those are different ships. The BBC story is about two oil tankers sinking in the Kerch Strait diving Crimea from Russia. This ship however sank in Ust-Luga, which is the Baltic Sea near St Petersburg.
Yeah, that’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.

Right. I’m just saying that Russia’s averaging more than an oil tanker a month when you consider this ship and those two.
Quite a coincidence.
If the ship is going to have problems like this, they should take it out of the environment.
Someone just made a mistake bro! /s
We should inspect those tankers and boot them out of Kattegat if they are not up to scratch.
