Stricken Oil Tanker 'Eventin' Stabilized Off German Coast After Blackout

The Panama-flagged tanker carrying 99,000 tons of oil is being held in position near Sassnitz as plans for its removal and repairs are finalized.

The 274-meter-long tanker 'Eventin,' which suffered a total power failure on Friday, is being held approximately five kilometers off the coast of Sassnitz, Germany.
Emergency teams secured the vessel after it drifted manœuverless in the Baltic Sea during stormy weather, avoiding a potential environmental disaster.
The ship, part of Russia's so-called 'shadow fleet,' is being stabilized by commercial tugboats while its owner arranges for its removal to a designated location for repairs.
The crew of 24 remains on board without functioning ship systems but has received emergency supplies, including power generators and heaters, to improve conditions.
Authorities have confirmed that the tanker is structurally intact, with no oil leakage detected, and the situation is currently under control.
