Bad weather stalls Bulgaria’s rescue of "shadow fleet" tanker

Bulgaria’s maritime authorities, border police and navy, are carrying out a rescue of a vessel that entered the country’s territorial waters on Friday but the operation has been put on hold due to bad weather, the transport ministry said in a statement.

The vessel is identified as sanctioned tanker Kairos, which was hit in the Black Sea last week by a Ukrainian drone in Turkey’s Exclusive Economic Zone and its crew rescued after it was caught by fire.
