On the evening of January 9th local time, a tanker carrying 99000 tons of crude oil lost control due to mechanical failure in the Baltic Sea near L ü gen Island, Germany, and was unable to travel. Germany has dispatched three rescue ships and tugboats to attempt to tow the oil tanker to shore. However, due to poor weather conditions on the sea surface, rescue operations have not yet begun. At present, the 24 sailors on board are not in life-threatening condition, and there is no structural damage to the hull, so there will be no oil leakage. It is reported that the oil tanker involved in the accident was named “Eftin” and was flying the Panamanian flag, but it is actually owned by Russia. At the time of the accident, it was en route from a Russian port to the port of Said in Egypt.
