"It is absolutely essential to bring the ship under control, pump it out and sink it in a controlled manner. If the oil and diesel leak, it will be devastating for the environment."
"The large quantities of gas on board, estimated at over 60,000 tons, could explode. Such an operation could be very dangerous."
"The vessels of Russia's shadow fleet regularly cause environmental damage. The tankers are often old, in poor condition, uninsured and their tracking systems are turned off."
The Russian gas tanker Arctic Metagaz was attacked by Ukrainian drones, leading to significant damage and a risk of environmental disaster. The ship, carrying 450 tons of heavy fuel, 250 tons of diesel, and over 60,000 tons of gas, is drifting toward the Libyan coast. Explosions and gas leaks have been reported. Greenpeace emphasizes the urgency of controlling the situation to prevent an ecological catastrophe. Russia's shadow fleet, which operates under the radar to evade sanctions, often uses old and poorly maintained vessels, increasing environmental risks.
