Foreign firms in Sea of Okhotsk predatory, shelf borders must be defined- Ivanov

"The  issue  of  defining  the  external borders of the continental shelf is a most acute one. In the middle of the sea there is a free, one can even  say  'grey,' zone with an area of 56,400 square kilometers, in which foreign  companies,  whose  actions  cannot  be  called other than predatory,  act.  There  is  lawlessness  there, which seriously damages Russia's  economic  interests,"   Ivanov said at a meeting of the Russian governmental maritime Board in Moscow on Friday.
