Rome, Italy
—
Maritime authorities have warned mariners to steer clear of a crewless Russian fuel tanker that has been drifting between Italy and Malta for days after an alleged drone attack, prompting fears of an environmental disaster.
Surveillance video taken from above the ship shows the smoldering blackened vessel listing to one side, with a massive gash on its port side and a filmy substance in the waters around it.
The Russian-flagged vessel – the Arctic Metagaz – is carrying around 900 metric tons (992 US tons) of diesel fuel and more than 60,000 metric tons (66,000 US tons) of liquefied natural gas in the still-intact hull, according to Italian authorities.
