The delivery of the necessary products is being prepared within today's time. The crew is in good mental and physical condition.
The rough sea and strong wind have not yet allowed the authorities to board.
The Navy is ready to provide a "Panther" helicopter from the "Chaika" airbase to deliver the crew of the "Kairos" tanker with the necessary food supplies and communication equipment.
There are two stages ahead of the organization when the weather improves to tow the tanker. The first and most important is to get the Bulgarian authorities on board to conduct a safety check.
After that, the actual towing of the tanker can begin. Some of the crew expressed a desire to be evacuated, others did not.
The Bulgarian authorities announced that the ship was towed by a Turkish tugboat, after which it was abandoned in our waters.
Ivan Kirov, fisherman from Ahtopol: The fact that they will help the crew bring them provisions, food - fine, but will this ship stay here forever? If no rescue operation is undertaken, I simply do not see how it will withstand this wave.
Todor Lyubenov, fisherman from Ahtopol: There are fears, because some ecological disaster could happen. This is a large ship, plus it is a tanker.
Dimitar Lyubenov, fisherman from Ahtopol: The Greek ship that ran aground was in 1963. There was a very large wave, much larger than now, the sea was simply boiling. And the ship suffered a failure in its steering. His rudder had broken and he became unmanageable and succumbed to the wind and the current, and in the same way as now from the east, he brought him to the shore and ran aground on the very shore.
