Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Vladimir-Rusanov

On July 29, 2024, the Russian tanker 'Vladimir Rusanov' faced significant engine issues while navigating the Møre coast, as it journeyed from Kaliningrad to Murmansk. During the night hours, the vessel was observed drifting at a slow pace of one to two knots in a north-easterly direction across the Norwegian Sea, specifically west of Møre and Romsdal. Although repairs were attempted, the engine faltered again shortly after being restarted, prompting further concerns for the crew's safety. In response to the situation, the Coastguard vessel 'Bison' was dispatched to the 'Vladimir Rusanov' to provide potential assistance. The maritime traffic center in Vardø maintained continuous communication with the tanker, ensuring that the situation was closely monitored.
