Two Russian oil tankers sank in the Black Sea.

RT quoted the announcement of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations stating that the oil tankers in distress were named Volganeft 212 and Volganeft 239, one of which sank off the Kerch Strait, the sea connecting the Black Sea with the Sea of ​​Azov.

Before the accident, Volganeft 212 and Volganeft 239 sent out emergency signals and requested assistance due to rough seas and large waves, and the ships could sink at any time.

Two oil tankers were in trouble near the Kerch Strait, and rescue operations were hampered by bad weather.

Initial information said that two oil tankers Volganeft 212 and Volganeft 239 with a total crew of 29 people were drifting near the Black Sea coast when they were hit by large waves. The Volganeft 212, carrying more than 4,000 tons of fuel oil, ran aground shortly after, while the Volgoneft 239 is still drifting and damaged by the waves.

Rescue operations were launched immediately, two tugboats and two helicopters were deployed to the location of the distressed vessels. The evacuation of sailors is underway on the Volganeft 212.

Russian authorities are currently working on plans to prevent oil from the Volganeft 212 from spilling out after it sinks. There have been no reports of casualties so far.

In 2007, there was also an oil tanker sinking in the Black Sea. The Volgaeft-139, carrying 4,000 tons of oil, was broken in half by waves, spilling all the fuel into the sea.

The Volgaeft tankers were built in Soviet times to transport oil on rivers and are not capable of withstanding heavy storms in the Black Sea, a Russian official said.
