The seizure of Greek interests were proceeded by the Russian authorities, as reported by foreign news agencies.
In particular, the Russian authorities hold the Green Admire tanker, with a Liberian flag, owned by Aegean Shipping, based in Greece. The Greek -owned oil tanker had sailed from the port of Silamae, northeast of Estonia, in the Baltic Sea and sailed through Russian territorial waters, as Estonia’s public broadcasting broadcast on Sunday, May 18, citing Estonia.
The ship was following a designated navigation channel passing through Russian territorial waters, the ministry said in a statement.
To Rotterdam
The ship carried shale oil. He was following a predetermined route and his final destination, according to Bloomberg, was Rotterdam. The incident happened, according to the agency, three days after sending a Russian aircraft in response to Estonia’s attempt to stop Russian “shadow” tanker.
Spikes Estonia to Russia
Ships sailing from the port of Silamae usually pass through Russian waters, as the route is considered safer for large ships, compared to the crossing between avant -garde signs into Estonian waters.
According to the report, the Estonian Ministry of Transport said it was the first such incident and that ships arriving or sailing from Silamae will now be guided through Estonian territorial waters to avoid a similar event.
“Today’s incident shows that Russia continues to act in an unpredictable way, so ships will now be directed through alternative route,” said Estonian Foreign Minister Margos Tsachna.
