Because the passage of old Russian tanks with oil through the narrows between the north and the baltic seas are still not prohibited, pilots help to prevent sea catastrophic disaster.
Danish pilots were accompanied by the So -called “Shadow Fleet” tanks of the Russian Federation by narrows between the north and baltic seas. On Saturday, June 21, the DW reported with a reference to German television materials Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) and DanWatch Danish portal.
According to the channel, the “Shadow Fleet” tanks pass daily by the coast of Germany and Denmark. “Although the pilot’s accompaniment to transit through Danish waters is not mandatory, most vessels use this help, as the narrows are narrow, shallow and overload,” the channel reports.
Currently, the work of pilots does not fall under western sanctions, so they work to avoid a sea catastrophe on the coast of Denmark.
It was noted that Danish pilots were almost the only West representative who knew what was going on aboard these ships. Danpilot orange boats approached the tanks, the pilot climbed the staircase of the cable and helps to go through the narrows.
“The technical condition of vessels, hygiene conditions on board and how the team works – happening that I asked myself: how could they safely reach the final point of the route?” – Danish lot Bjorn Caesar Skinnurup told journalists.
According to him, often the team “is not qualified enough”, is not capable of navigating, and “everything is indifferent to it.” Lotsman also noted that until recently in the Baltic Sea was not a single tanker over 20 years old, and now it is coming day.
An unidentified NDR source in the field of shipping says that a vessel can earn $ 30-40 million a year in Russian oil transportation. You can buy an old tanker for about $ 12 million – mainly in the countries of Middle East or South Asia, for example, in India.
To reduce the impact of penalties, each tank was recorded on a separate legal creature. Currently, restriction steps in the EU apply to 342 shadows of Russian armades.
Earlier it was reported that the shadow tanker of the Russian Federation created a dangerous situation in the Gulf of Finland. The ship that brought raw oil was directed in a direction that would lead to about ten minutes.
And last week, Russia’s UAE “Shadow” tanker collided with another ship, a fire occurred.
