The situation with the ship "Vera Su", which ran aground near Yailata protected area on September 20, will be under control on Monday at the latest, Bulgaria’s caretaker Minister of Tourism Stela Baltova said in an interview for the Bulgarian National Television.
If weather is good today, more fuel should be siphoned off. "The government stands ready to ensure a proper evacuation of the ship's crew, to retreive the stranded vessel and keep the environment clean", Minister Baltova said. Some of the world’s leading experts are also taking part in the operation. "Unfortunately, Bulgaria is not prepared for such crisis situations", Minister Baltova admitted.
Meanwhile, it became clear that the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) will send three barges to help Bulgaria during the transshipment operations. “The situation has been brought under control”, Bulgaria’s caretaker Minister of Transport Hristo Alexiev said at a briefing.
