“We will export Russian scrap from Poland,” Arkadyusz Marhevka said on Friday.

The tanker will be sent to Denmark, where, according to the Deputy Minister of Infrastructure, he will be “cut into pieces”. Maritime management in Gdyni reported that the ship had already had the official status of scrap.

“The previous government did nothing for years. The Russian ship just stood in the port. They did not pay any fees … The safety of our ports is key,” he added.

The procedure for “deriving” the vessel and its transportation to the shipyard in Denmark is subject to strict rules of European law and required international cooperation.

Since the ship was not suitable for self -swimming, technical work was carried out on board to facilitate its removal.

In March, the tanker broke out of the pier twice, threatening the safety of other vessels.

Maritime management in Gdyni reported on Friday that the “withdrawal” of Hatanga from the port of Gdyn fits into the context of the Polish presidency in the Council of the European Union, which ends in June and has a slogan “Security, Europe!”.
