1/ The two Russian tankers that broke apart yesterday in the Kerch Strait reportedly split along welds created when the ships were modified in a botched attempt to meet safety regulations. Numerous safety rules were being violated when the ships sank. ⬇️

  Attached: 1 video 1/ The two oil tankers that have sunk in the Kerch Strait were obsolete specialised river-sea vessels that should not have been operating at all, according to Russian sources. They were supposed to have ceased operating at sea in 2008 under Russian and international regulations. ⬇️

  2/ More details have emerged of the specific design flaws that caused the tankers Volgoneft-219 and Volgoneft-239 to disintegrate in a severe storm east of Crimea. As previously reported, both ships were old (55 and 51 years respectively) and didn't meet maritime safety rules.
