To collect from the surface of the water the remains of the oil tanker around “Delphi” in Odessa will be possible only after the end of the storm, then will decide what to do with the ship.
As stated in the story TSN, last night wave put the ship on the right side. The water flooded all the holds and captain’s cabin with an engine room, and on the shore, took out the debris and things from the vessel and oily stains of fuel.
Evacuated from the ship the sailors up in the morning were in hospitals. The most difficult condition was 60-year-old captain, whose vessel was removed unconscious. “Was delivered to the patient with a General chill. Now the patient feels well. Demand was discharged to outpatient treatment,” – said the Deputy chief physician of the 11th city hospital Vadim Stoev.
Remains in the hospital, only the chief engineer. He says that the night of the storm, even the SOS signal was not possible to apply the water got into the fuel and the engine stalled, so I lost electricity. First I lost one anchor, and then off and auxiliary tanker has become unmanageable. “It was not what we have all been de-energized, no connection, just mobile. To us to fit the tugs, they did not, they lost the tow end, it fell through,” said rescued sailor Konstantin Mikhailenko.

The man says that cargo, and the more forbidden, the tanker was not. The crew refused to evacuate, because it was dangerous.
“In such circumstances it is hard to resist. We were offered to leave the ship to sea again. In a severe storm no one would have jumped overboard, we refused”, – said the sailor. The people on the ship agreed to go, only when the waves threw the tanker ran aground, and the captain’s cabin where I was hiding the sailors began to pour.
To rescue the crew involved all the emergency services. Now the main problem is a tanker and grease stain around it. The level of water pollution with oil products has exceeded admissible norms in 160 times. To put a protective groynes do not allow storm waves, and it is important that the ship does not suck in the sand.
“If in the near future it will not clean out, storm will beat him, and then it will be scrap. Now there is still a chance to cause a powerful floating crane, to lift, to pump and transportirovki to the nearest port for disposal”, – said the employee of the rescue diving service of the Odessa Igor Ichinsky.
Since the owner is not contacted and was actually left his property to the mercy, to remove the consequences of the shipwreck want to oblige the city. “It was dorozno the city to clean up the beach and all that has flowed from this vessel. I have another question to the leaders of the field: and during the week, when the ship was hanging in the sea than it was doing there, what it was carrying, came to some authorities, they have something asked of them, but they are unable to localize the situation and brought up the fact that the ship washed ashore”, – told Vice-the mayor of Odessa Andrey Kotlyar.
Yet decide the fate of the tanker, in place of the shipwreck are massively Odessa. “It’s not every day I see this just. I think this is a big environmental disaster. And in summer it is very much impact, I think, negatively on tourists”, – said the resident of the city Alexander Lukyanov.
As UNIAN reported earlier, in the Black sea near Odessa crashed tanker “Delphi” with three Ukrainians on Board. The tanker had issued a distress signal in the evening of 20 November, when he was in the surveillance zone of the sea port “southern” (Odessa region).
Later it was demolished by the wind to the Dolphin beach in Odessa. According to the Administration of seaports, the tanker was empty.
Rescue ships could not approach the tanker due to the difficult weather conditions. Later divers were evacuated three members of the crew who were taken to hospitals. One of the sailors – the inhabitant of Izmail of Odessa region – refused hospitalization. Today the hospital discharged the captain of the ship – 59-the summer inhabitant of Odessa.
