The ship Vera Su which ran aground near Kamen Bryag cannot be salvaged. The ship is extremely compromised, the engine room is flooded and the vessel is now deemed to be a wreck. This has been established after an inspection by scuba divers.
In the coming days the Turkish ship owner has to announce whether he is abandoning the ship or whether he will take some other kind of action. At this time, it is not clear what state the cargo is in. Discussions are underway whether the nitrogenous fertilizer the ship is carrying should be left to be washed away by the sea, disintegrate in situ or be re-disposed.
According to Maritime Administration Director Captain Ventsislav Ivanov any steps to unload the ship are hardly likely by the beginning of November.
