Director of the Maritime Port Administration of Ukraine (AMPU) Alexander Golodnitsky. It will be a ship lift or another way, he said. According to Golodnitsky, in addition to lifting the ship, the option of cutting it into pieces is also being considered. The representative of the Turkish company proposes to cut the ship into two parts Chek from a million dollars, he said. The head of AMPU noted that at present recognitions of emergency situation with the tanker expect from Public service on emergency situations (GSChS) of Ukraine. In the city hall of Odessa, journalists were told about why attempts to raise the ship did not bring results. The load capacity of pontoons used by the contractor is many times lower than the weight of the vessel. And so far there are no changes: the pontoons have started at 90 tons, and the weight of the tanker is 1600 tons, said Viktor Kuznetsov, director of the relevant department of the Odessa City Council. He also noted that the fuel spill near the ship occurred because not sea bons (floating barriers of the news agency) were installed around the tanker, but river ones. Recall that earlier the Governor of Odessa region Maxim Kutsy said that the tugboats once again could not turn the Delfi into a vertical position.
