Collision in Black Sea

The cargo m/v 'Begonia S' (IMO: 9445540), en route from Varna to Novorossyisk, was in collision with the 'Natig Aliyev' in the Black Sea between the Russian ports of Gelendzhik and Novorossiysk. Damage was minimal, so both ships continued on their way. The accident occurred at an anchorage due to adverse weather conditions, when the 'Natig Aliyev' dragged anchor and drifted into the 'Begonia S', which suffered minor damage to its bow. The rudder blade of the tanker got caught on the anchor chain. Nobody was injured, and no environmental pollution occurred, Report with video: https://www.vesti.az/v-mire/sudno-natig-aliyev-stolknulos-s-suxogruzom-v-cernom-more-video-538303

ITF helps Russian crew a second time

For the second time, the ITF has helped a Russian crew anchored south of Skagen in Denmark. After months of wrangling, $324,370 in unpaid wages have now been paid to the crew of 19 from the Turkish/Russian tanker Natig Aliyev. Danish authorities have now released the ship which had been at anchor for around eight months. The owed wages were paid by the new charterer of the ship, said a spokesperson for the Danish labor organization CO-Sea. “This is the second time within six months that ITF has had to put its foot down to ensure payment of the ship’s crew, and it is the third time within a year that the same Turkish/Russian shipping company, Palmali Shipping, has been caught red-handed in Denmark violating the international convention to secure the rights of seafarers, the MLC,” asserts the organization.

New charter found after eight months at anchor

After eight months at anchor, a new charterer has paid wages to the 19 crew members on the 'Natig Aliyef'. The ship has left the Danish waters after having been morred more than seven months in Aalbæk Bay, and headed to Tallinn, ETA Sep 30. The ship has been under arrest since February, The arrest was triggered by the Eiger Shipping - a subsidiary of the Lukzil oil giant Lukoil. Lukoil had chartered the 'Natig Aliyev' in 2015 and handed the ship to Palmali before the expiration of the agreed time. Eiger Shipping had paid bunkers fir the ship, and in addition had prepaid wages for the ship's crew for a limited period. Several of the 16 Russian and three Ukrainian crew members have not been paid since. With ITF as an intermediary, a new charterer of the ship has now paid out what amounts to 2.6 million Danish crowns, which the crew benefited.
