Greek-Run Oil Tanker Comes Under Attack in Russian Black Sea

The Greek-operated oil tanker Skiros was attacked in the Black Sea after loading a Russian-origin cargo.
That is according to Bloomberg, citing sources familiar with the matter, Ukrinform reports.

The Suezmax-class tanker, able to hold about 1 million barrels of oil, was attacked after loading at the Caspian Pipeline Consortium's terminal near Novorossiysk.

While CPC mostly loads Kazakh barrels, the consignment in question was Russian-originated. The attack happened on Sunday close to the terminal.

The Athens-based company listed on Equasis as the manager of the Skiros said that there were no injuries or pollution as a result of the incident and that the vessel’s owners were aware of it. The company declined to comment further.
