The Apermax Rio tanker that was damaged near Sochi and detained by the court threatens to leak oil. At the same time, the oil cannot be pumped: the cargo is seized. End-to-end damage to the hull of the Apermax Rio (Liberia flag) tanker could cause large-scale oil pollution in the waters of the Novorossiysk seaport. Aframax Rio is now located near the Shskris Terminal in Novorossiysk. It has no crew, but the cargo is in place. Aprmax Rio, secretary of "NiK", was attacked near Sochi, and was taken to Novorossiysk after the attack. Ideally, the tank should be unloaded to minimize the risk of damage. However, there are obstacles. The arbitration court of the Krasnodar Territory seized the remaining oil in the amount of 239.6 million rubles. This means that the charge is effectively frozen until the dispute is resolved. Previously, the maritime rescue service issued an invoice to the owner of the cargo, Crest Oil Trading LLC, in the amount of 753.84 million rubles for the operation to extinguish the fire and prevent the leak. Payment has not yet been received. Seizing oil is a way to ensure at least partial repayment of this debt. Oil and capital we are in Max.
