The passage of ships through the Kerch Strait is blocked


After the explosion on the Crimean Bridge, the passage of ships through the Kerch Strait is impossible.

As of the morning of July 19, the Kerch Strait remains closed to vessels heading to and from the ports of the Sea of Azov. More than 100 Russian vessels are stuck at anchorages, writes Fleetmon.

Analysts believe that the condition of the Kerch Bridge may be much worse than official Russian sources have stated. So, most likely, the structural integrity of the bridge is significantly impaired,

Most of the ships indicate the Russian port of Kavkaz as their destination. It is worth noting that the Russians often falsify AIS data in order to hide the real location of ships.
