Tankers burning in fourth week

The fourth week has gone since the onset of a fire on the "Maestro" and "Candy" loaded with liquefied gas in the Black Sea. The Russian tug "Mercury" periodically cools the anchored ships. It was difficult to predict when the burning will stop which may take another week or two. One tanker has drifted into the territorial waters of Russia, the second was located nearby in neutral waters. The 12 rescued crew members were discharged from the city hospital on Jan 25, the next day they left the Crimea. The "Candy", the former "Venice" and the "Maestro" in November 2018 were mentioned in the US Treasury information warning of the risk of US sanctions. Washington claimed that since 2016, ships have been supplying fuel to Syria.
