On June 23, the court will consider the appeal of the CPC against the decision on the damage from the oil spill near Novorossiysk

This is reported by TASS.

The meeting is scheduled for June 23rd.

On August 7, 2021, crude oil was released offshore in the Black Sea near Novorossiysk from the Greek tanker Minerva Symphony.

As CPC later reported, the reason was the destruction of the internal cavity of the hydraulic compensator of the remote mooring device.

According to Rosprirodnadzor, the amount of damage to nature amounted to 4.48 billion rubles.

The CPC did not agree with this assessment and announced its intention to challenge it in court.
