The Romanian President reported that a propane tanker, identified as the Gas Lisbon and flying the Liberian flag, was involved in an incident approximately 20 miles from the Romanian coast last night. According to reports, the vessel had departed from the port of Alexandria, Egypt, with its intended destination being the Ukrainian port of Odesa. Following the incident, maritime authorities responded swiftly.
Two vessels from the Romanian Agency for Maritime Safety reached the scene and successfully evacuated the entire crew. The President confirmed that all personnel were safely brought ashore, noting that three members of the crew sustained injuries. Furthermore, the Romanian President stated that a tugboat has been dispatched to the area.
This vessel is currently monitoring the tanker to ensure it maintains its course and does not present any additional threat to maritime safety. The Romanian government has confirmed that state authorities remain on standby to manage the situation. The incident involving the tanker has prompted an immediate response from Romanian maritime safety agencies, prioritizing the safety of the crew and the stability of the vessel in Romanian territorial waters.
The ongoing monitoring effort aims to mitigate any potential environmental or navigational risks associated with the tanker’s presence near the Romanian coast.
