【One Year After the Black Sea Oil Tanker Wreck, Shipping Companies Are Claimed 110 Billion Rubles】
One year after the sinking of the "Volga Oil-212" and "Volga Oil-239" oil tankers in the Black Sea, the claim amount proposed by the Russian Federal Service for Oversight of Natural Resources Utilization against the shipowners and chartering companies ("Kama Shipping," "Kama Transport Oil," "Volga Transport Oil") has already exceeded 80 billion rubles.
The Krasnodar Krai Department of Natural Resources also attempted to recover more than 30 billion rubles. In addition, due to the ban on swimming in the Black Sea during the summer of 2025, the income of sanatoriums was damaged, and the related claim amount reached more than 500 million rubles.
At present, these companies are on the brink of bankruptcy and are challenging the reasonableness of the claimed amount in court. Legal experts believe that most of the ecological and commercial losses will be difficult to compensate.
