    The 'Atriya' was deployed to the tank m/v 'Stone 1' which had encountered mechanical problems with a threat of possible power loss during loading operations from a floating oil pipe reducer at the East coast of Kolguyev island in the Barents Sea on July 6, 2018

    The 'Atriya' was deployed to the tank m/v 'Stone 1' which had encountered mechanical problems with a threat of possible power loss during loading operations from a floating oil pipe reducer at the East coast of Kolguyev island in the Barents Sea on July 6, 2018. While establishing a towing connection the wire snapped and fouled the tug’s propeller and rudder. By July 8 the tug was under way again, and the tanker also was operative again.
