Midia 24
The 60 meter long, 1500 dwt tender vessel Midia 24 went aground in the Black Sea off Pitsunda, Georgia. The small vessel had been at anchor when rough weather caused the anchor to drag allowing the Midia 24 to go ashore. The Midia 24 suffered hull damage allowing water ingress into the hold. There was no cargo on board. All five crewmen on board were safely rescued and no reports of injuries. There is some concern about pollution coming from a possible fuel leak. The Midia 24 has been involved hauling sand-gravel to Sochi as part of the Olympic Games construction.
