The Chinese cargo ship stranded in Russian waters will attempt to refloat in August
According to a statement from the Chinese Consulate General in Vladivostok on the 28th, the Chinese cargo ship "Anyang-2" that ran aground near the Sea of Sakhalin will attempt to refloat in August.
According to the consulate general, according to relevant provisions of the Russian Maritime Code, the company owning the "Anyang-2" submitted its plan for refloating to the Russian State Inspectorate for the Use of Natural Resources and the Sakhalin Region in May this year. The Russian authorities have now reached an agreement on the refloating plan. Next, the company plans to carry out the refloating work on the cargo ship when the weather is suitable in August.
On the early morning of February 9, the Chinese cargo ship "Anyang-2" ran aground near the port of Nyevelets in the Sakhalin region after encountering a strong storm. There were 20 Chinese crew members on board, carrying about 50 tons of diesel and 700 tons of heavy fuel oil. On February 14, the Governor of the Sakhalin region, Limarenko, stated that the stricken Chinese cargo ship did not cause pollution of the surrounding sea water. In late March, Chinese relevant departments sent a working group to the capital of the Sakhalin region, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, to negotiate with the local government of Russia and Russian rescue agencies regarding the rescue of the Chinese cargo ship. Between mid-May and late May, 200 tons of fuel oil were unloaded from the cargo ship and stored in a warehouse on the shore. In the same month, five Chinese crew members returned home first.
