The information first appeared on social media. The publications said that the tugboat ran aground when, with the help of the boat, they tried to break the ice on the pontoon route, which runs from the Danube to Putyatin Island.
“Yes, (the ship – ed.) is sitting… They are filming it, they are working there, it’s just that apparently there is some kind of difficult… difficult situation,” the Fokino city administration told the agency, emphasizing that the tugboat is definitely not used as an icebreaker.
“Neftegaz-55” belongs to the coastal branch of the Maritime Rescue Service, but they could not confirm the information about its grounding and conducting a rescue operation. The interlocutor said that the tug was heading under its own power to Nakhodka.
