Poland is removing a stranded Russian product tanker and sending it for demolition in Denmark
The 1987-built, 23,000 dwt Khatanga has been stranded in the Port of Gdynia for nearly eight years. It was detained in October 2017 after failing a port state inspection, with its owners, Murmansk Shipping Company, promising repairs that were never carried out. The Russian shipowner then went bankrupt in 2020, while the ship’s condition has deteriorated a great deal, and has broken from its moorings on more than one occasion.
Proceeds from the sale will cover unpaid dockage fees.
