Libya Signs Contract to Handle Russian Gas Tanker Damaged by Kiev Attack
The Russian tanker Arctic Metagaz—severely damaged in early March by a Ukrainian kamikaze drone and subsequently rendered uncontrollable—is now gradually drifting toward the Libyan coast due to winds and sea currents.
According to a statement from the Libyan National Oil Corporation (NOC), the liquefied natural gas tanker will be towed to a Libyan port to minimize environmental risks.
The NOC concluded the contract with an international company specializing in emergency response for damaged vessels, particularly those posing a risk of marine pollution. The operation will be carried out through its subsidiary Mellitah Oil & Gas, in partnership with the Italian company Eni.
