Primorsk Territory Governor Vladimir Miklushevsky has asked the government of the Russian Federation to ban bunkering on the open sea (off-harbour bunkering – IAA PortNews ed.), says press center of the regional authorities.
The initiative supported by the Territory citizens was triggered by an oil spill in the Khasan district of Primorsk Territory on October 11, 2014. The spill was caused by the second motorman who undertook an unauthorized discharge of contaminated water (some 3 cbm) off the Skazochny Most ship.
