Estonia stated that about 40 violations were discovered on a detained oil ship on Friday on Friday, to the Russian UST-Luga port. 29 of them were very serious and became the basis for ship detention. After removing violations and re -izing, the Ministry of Transport of Estonia will grant a license to continue monitoring for oil ships. Kiwala oil ship was detained on Friday in Estonia's territorial waters. The navy ships of this country took him into Muga Bay to verify. On the train is 24 people. According to Estonia media, the captain is a citizen of China and the rest of the team, in all possibilities, is Mauritania's citizen. According to maritime traffic, Kiwala oil ship in 2007 went under Djibuti's flag. However, Djibuti's representative noted that the ship was not listed in their registration book and there was no information about the owner, the postimeees report. How legal is the detention of an oil -carrying ship? Saying that the first deputy director of maritime transportation of the Council, Karen Stepanyan:
– It is only legal when the ship goes into Estonia's territory, the State has the right to check, stop, check, may be detained, but this is the case. Because, in my memory of such exams, no coastal country never conducted such exams. If there is a civil ship, report. There is such a controlled reporting system. That is, if everything corresponds, then they often let the ship pass. The peaceful passage is not limited to anything, and the ship calmly goes into the ports. Here, most likely, has been played by the fact that the ship has walked towards Russian ports. That is, Ust-Luga-Petersburg.
-Can go to St. Petersburg somehow safely, where Estonia's no authority is in any way?
– Yes, of course, maybe, there is a neutral water area in the Baltic Sea, it is wide enough for it. It is just a message with the Kaliningrad area on it, Aeroflot aircraft and other airlines in Kaliningrad Fly, meaning there is a fairly large area in which steam vessels and two or three ships are sent from Kaliningrad to Petersburg and vice versa, where no one has the right to check, so.
The head of the police department and the Estonian border force claimed that Kiwala oil ship was being punished. How can Estonia actions affect Russian marine oil transport? The opinion of the leading expert of the University of Finance and National Energy Security Fund Igor Yushkov:
Igor Yushkov is a leading expert at the University of Finance and National Energy Security Fund, we don't know exactly what they have discovered there and whether this is really a reason for detaining a oil -carrying ship. That is, in this way, they want to sell their oil to be guaranteed to be less than 60 dollars per barrel. And, in fact, observing the bare price, then they will constantly reduce the price of the price. That is, in this regard, they will still become worse and will increase the bet in this conflict. The plan that we allow us to change direction, for example, from Baltic to other directions, our export is completely, I think that so far has not been available. There is a large mass that we easily throw them at Novorossiysk or in another place. “
Earlier this week in Estonia, a law was approved, had the right to detain the country's armed forces and even submerged suspicious civil ships.
Assistant president, Russia will find ways to fight this law
