Seba M

Seba M

The 130 meter long, 11680 dwt freighter Seba M went aground in the Azov Sea port of Mariupol, Ukraine.  The Seba M was entering the port and was pushed out of the navigation channel by ice.   The port tug was requested, but was unable to refloat the Seba M.  An ice breaker was dispatched but was not able to get close to the freighter due to the shallow water.  A towline was taken from the Seba M to the icebreaker and later pulled the freighter free.   No reports of injuries, damage or pollution being released.

Vessel Sinks in Dry Dock?

Vessel Sinks in Dry Dock?

The 132 meter long, 4701 dwt tanker Volgoneft 263 sank while docked on the floating dock PD-154 at Ilyichevsk, Ukraine.  The Vologneft 263 was being repaired when the dock lost stability  and sank.   The tanker’s hull had been cut for repairs which quickly allowed water ingress to sink it.  The on board EPIRB sent out a distress signal that the vessel had sank.  Pollution was released as 8,000 liters of diesel fuel and 1,300 liters of oil were on board the Vologneft.   Booms were deployed to prevent the spread of pollution in the port.  No reports of injuries.
