Moldovan oil carrier ship breaks in half in Russia because of storm, no victims

A Moldovan ship that belongs to a foreign company broke in two in Sochi (Russia) on December 19, where it was anchored. The crew members, all of them Ukrainians and Russians, have been rescued.

The oil-carrying ship, which had 37 tons of diesel fuel on board, allegedly broke down because of a storm. The cargo will be evacuated without causing environmental damage.

Prime Minister Vlad Filat asked for an investigation of the case. A press release from the Government says that Moldova has 435 ships, most of which are being
used overseas.
