In the Black Sea, off the coast of temporarily occupied Yalta, a floating crane for lifting heavy loads sank.
Footage published on the Telegram channel “Crimean Wind” shows the crane boom falling under the impact of waves and gusts of wind.
The cause of the accident is still unknown. Thus, on December 15, three incidents involving Russian vessels occurred. It is worth noting that a storm warning was issued in the region for this period.
We will remind, that two Russian tankers sank in the Kerch Strait. First, the tanker “Volgoneft-212”, which was carrying 4 tons of oil, suffered an accident. An hour later, the storm hit the “Volgoneft-239”.
The cause of the accident was a strong storm. One of the tankers was almost cut in half by the waves.
On the evening of December 15, it became known that the evacuation of the crew of the tanker “Volgoneft-239” was suspended due to bad weather.
Over the past six months, Volgoneft-212 and Volgoneft-239 have been delivering fuel oil and export petroleum fuel from the Rosneft refinery to the port of Kavkaz.
