Ancient oil tanker
Federal Ministry of Finance: Tanker “Eventin” was confiscated
The tanker “Eventin”, which had been made in front of Rügen, is said to belong to the shadow fleet of Russia and is already on a sanction list. Now the German authorities have made an important decision.
The oil tanker “Eventin”, which had been resolved in the Baltic Sea in the Baltic Sea in front of Rügen, was secured and confiscated by German customs. “With the confiscation, the prerequisites for recycling the ship and the load are created,” said a spokesman for the Federal Ministry of Finance. A change of crew has already taken place. Supplementary information is currently not yet possible due to continued customs law measures, it said.
Already in February “Der Spiegel” reported that the ship was confiscated, including the load. The ministry spokesman did not want to confirm that at the time. The EU countries had already put the “event” on the list of sanctions against Russia. The tanker is one of more than 150 ships of the so -called shadow fleet, against which sanctions apply.
The “event” drove for hours in the Baltic Sea for hours – all systems had failed. German emergency services secured the tanker and dragged it into an area in front of Rügen near the city of Sassnitz. Since then it has been there. According to previous information, the ship, which is under Panama flag, has around 100,000 tons of oil on board. It had been on the road from Ust-Luga in Russia to Port Said in Egypt.
