Read Authentic Ratings for the Hanuman

In a robust response to an ecological disaster in the Black Sea, authorities in Novorossiysk have detained the oil tanker 'Hanuman'. This decision comes after the vessel failed to address a substantial oil spill that occurred in late March. Environmental agency Rosprirodnadzor has estimated the cost of the damage at approximately 40 million rubles. The Arbitration Court of Krasnodar Krai has upheld the vessel's seizure to ensure that the foreign shipowner is held accountable for the environmental fallout. The authorities have until May 21 to file an official claim for damages if the shipowner does not voluntarily settle the compensation.

On the evening of April 29, 2021, the oil tanker 'Arin', traveling from Tobruk, experienced a significant allision with the Buraiqa oil pier in Misrata port while attempting to berth. The impact resulted in substantial damage to the pier, leading to its partial destruction, while the vessel sustained notable breaches and dents along its portside bow. This incident highlights the ongoing safety challenges faced in busy maritime ports.
