The names of invaders vessels stealing grain from the port of Mariupol became known
All stealing vessels enter temporarily occupied ports with their transponders turned off.
The names of four Russian vessels of the river-sea class, which are most involved in the looting of Ukrainian grain, have become known. This was reported by Petro Andryushchenko, adviser to the mayor of Mariupol.
We are talking about dry cargo “Mezhdurechensk”, STK-1003, STK-1016 and RM-3. The first three ships were seen stealing grain, the last one was looting Mariupol fittings and bringing in concrete structures for fortifications.
None of these vessels turn on transponders when carrying out thefts from Mariupol. Before Andryushchenko reports, the AIS data of the dry cargo RM-3 show that the vessel is at the Sheremetyevo airport
Also, Ukrainian analysts have information about 3 more bulk carriers. Two under the flag of Liberia – stood in the port of Mariupol before the occupation. The third vessel is at the stage of identification.
Together, all these vessels can transport at least 15-20 thousand tons of cargo per day.
“What is all this for? Transfer to trucks with ammunition. One pulls a weight of up to 15 tons. That is, the invader’s flotilla is able to bring 1,000 such trucks to Mariupol per day. Add the railway and you will understand what kind of risk we are talking about,” Petro Andryushchenko emphasized.
Previously, USM wrote that the Russians are trying to deceive GPS navigators in order to export stolen Ukrainian grain. For example, vessels located near the Kerch Strait can appear on traffic monitoring systems in completely unexpected places – for example, at airports.
