British authorities have expelled the Russian cargo vessel Sinegorsk from UK territorial waters after it dropped anchor due to a technical issue, a Department for Transport spokesman said, as quoted by The Daily Telegraph.
"We issued a clear warning as a first step to the Sinegorsk vessel to leave UK waters after it entered to undertake essential safety repairs.
This directive has been complied with, and the vessel is leaving UK waters," he said.
The Daily Telegraph added that Sinegorsk’s last recorded call at a port was three weeks ago at Arkhangelsk in Russia’s North-West.
Sinegorsk is not sanctioned by the UK and is not part of the so-called Russia’s shadow fleet, the publication notes.
