Russia
declared a regional state of emergency on Saturday 4 Jan ’25 in Crimea, which
it seized from Ukraine in 2014, as workers cleared tons of contaminated sand
and earth on either side of the Kerch Strait following an oil spill in the
Black Sea last month. Mikhail
Razvozhaev, the Russia-installed governor of the city of Sevastopol, said new
traces of minor pollution required urgent elimination and declared a state of
emergency in the city – giving authorities more power to take swift decisions
such as ordering citizens to evacuate their homes. The Kerch Strait runs between the Black Sea
and the Sea of Azov and separates Crimea’s Kerch Peninsula from Russia’s
Krasnodar region.
Rescue workers have
now cleared more than 86,000 metric tons of contaminated sand and soil, the
emergencies ministry said on Saturday. The oil leaked from two aging tankers that were
hit by a storm on Dec. 15. One sank and the other ran aground. More than 10,000
people have been working to shovel up viscous, foul-smelling fuel oil from
sandy beaches in and around Anapa, a summer resort. Environmental groups have reported deaths of dolphins, porpoises and
sea birds.
The
emergencies ministry said on the Telegram messaging app that oil-tainted soil
had been collected in the broader Kuban region in Russia and in Crimea, whose
annexation by Russia has not been recognized by most other countries.
...Russia’s
transport ministry said this week experts had established that about 2,400
metric tons of oil products had spilled into the sea, a smaller spill than
initially feared.
When the
disaster struck, state media reported that the stricken tankers, both more than
50-years old, were carrying some 9,200 metric tons (62,000 barrels) of oil
products in total. The spill involved
heavy M100-grade fuel oil that solidifies at a temperature of 25 degrees
Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit) and, unlike other oil products, does not float
to the surface but sinks to the bottom or remains suspended in the water column.
