Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Savelyev held a meeting of the government commission to coordinate work to eliminate the consequences of the emergency caused by the sinking of tankers in the Kerch Strait in December 2024. All work in the emergency zone continues in accordance with the previously approved interdepartmental plan.
After the fuel oil was completely pumped out of the stern of the Volgoneft-239 tanker, work is underway to dismantle the external and internal structures of the vessel. As of today, about 10% of the total tonnage of the stern has been dismantled. The work is being carried out in accordance with the schedule and should be completed by March 31 of this year.
Work on land continues. The installation of a protective embankment continues on the beach area of Anapa and Temryuk district; more than 30 km of the embankment have been laid, of which more than 15 km are covered with nets. The main function of this embankment is to protect the coast from oil pollution as a result of possible emissions from the water area, including in adverse weather conditions.
Data from regular measurements of air, drinking water, and bioresource samples remain normal.
“Active work to eliminate the consequences of the emergency situation continues. All planned and approved plans are being implemented in full. Waste and contaminated soil are being disposed of, and the hull structures of the Volgoneft-239 tanker are being dismantled. We continue to evaluate options for raising the sunken fragments of the Volgoneft-239 and the Volgoneft-212 tanker, taking into account the assessment of all necessary environmental safety requirements. We will make a decision on this issue in February,” noted Vitaly Savelyev.
