The authorities of Novorossiysk reported on the cleaning of the coastline from oil products.

The oil product spills on the beaches in the villages of Abrau-Dyurso and Myskhako have been eliminated, reported the administration of Novorossiysk.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", the captain of the port of Novorossiysk ordered the owner of the tanker Aframax Rio to ensure the safety of the vessel, as the anchorage is unsafe during a storm, and to monitor the vessel's list. Near Novorossiysk, oil product spills are recorded.

Volunteers and employees of the municipal "Rescue Service" today completed work on cleaning the coastal area from oil products, reported the press service of the administration of Novorossiysk.

"Insignificant oil product spills have been eliminated on the territory of the beach 'Abrau-beach' and in the village of Myskhako. A total of about 300 meters of the coastline has been cleaned," the officials' message published on the Telegram channel of the Operational Headquarters of Kuban states.

The administration added that more than 50 people with six units of equipment participated in the work. "In case of new spills being discovered, specialists and volunteers will immediately begin elimination," the press service promised.

Statements by the authorities about the absence of oil spills after the fire on the tanker Aframax Rio are premature; shoreline pollution is inevitable, ecologists stated earlier surveyed by "Caucasian Knot." The project "Transparent World" recorded oil spots along the coast of Kuban on October 10 and 12, and volunteers found soiled birds on the beaches.
