In the Italian port of Savona, two explosions occurred on the Seajewel oil tanker, resulting in damage to the case. The ship is associated with the transportation of oil from Russia bypassing sanctions. The reasons for what happened on the night of February 15 in the north of the country has not yet been established. IVG publication, citing the data of the anti -terrorism service, reported that the holes were formed below the waterline, but the threat of oil leakage and the environmental disaster managed to avoid. Explosions occurred at the moment when the ship was anchored in the Buez zone by Sarp a few kilometers from the coast.

Since the reasons are not established, investigators consider several versions - from the technical malfunction when unloading oil to a possible intentional attack, since the witnesses heard two explosions, and the letters of the corps were bent inside, which may indicate an external effect. It is possible that explosive devices could be laid outside the vessel.

Divers and coastal protection of Savona are working at the scene, trying to establish the exact causes of the incident.

The Savona prosecutor’s office began the investigation, not excluding a single version, including a terrorist attack, especially given the possible connection of Seajewel with the transportation of Russian oil bypassing sanctions. This ship repeatedly transported raw materials from Russian ports through Turkey to Europe.

It is known that the Prosecutor's Office of Genoa and the District Office to Combat the Mafia and Terrorism were connected to the investigation.

Official sources are still refrain from commenting on the origin of the explosions. The administration of the port of Savona said that anomalies were recorded during oil unloading, which was due to which the work was temporarily discontinued for reasons of caution. The port service immediately introduced the procedures, according to port plans for preventing pollution and preventing fires. At the same time, there are no threats of flooding of the vessel or environmental consequences. "

According to Ukrainian Pravda, the Seajewel tanker can transport Russian oil to Europe, bypassing sanctions. This vessel is 245 meters long and 42 meters wide was built in 2009 and now walks under the flag of Malta. The last flight Seajewel began in Algeria, from where he arrived in Italy on February 14. Euractiv also notes that the tanker is included in the list of vessels that continue to transport Russian oil to the EU countries, despite the restrictions introduced as a result of the war in Ukraine. In December last year, this tanker made a flight from the Turkish port Jaykhan to Constanta (Romania), where, in the investigation of Ukrainian journalists, he was seen during unloading. Since Turkish ports do not have their own oil refineries, there were suspicions that they are used as transit points for the supply of Russian oil to the European market. In this regard, the European Fraud Administration conducts an investigation on the possible bypassing of sanctions.

At the same time, the automated services of the RussiantankerTracker and the Russianoiltracker related to Greenpeace UK have repeatedly recorded the Seajewel movement from the Russian port of Novorossiysk in the direction of Turkey or other, less well -known ports. Cases of such flights have been observed since 2022 still.

In addition, Denmark changed its policy on the movement of ships in the Baltic Sea and began to inspect Russian tankers. The main goal is to prevent environmental disasters that may occur due to the use of old and dangerous ships of the "
