Experts called the possible reasons for the crawling of the "Heroes of Arsenal" in the Black Sea. While only one sailor was saved, the fate of the remaining 11 unknown, the work complicates the storm, reports the republican Ministry of Emergency Situations.
Tragic legend of "Titanic"
President of the Academy of Geopolitical Problems, Doctor of Military Sciences, the captain of the first rank of the stock Konstantin Sivkov on the air Radio Sputnik expressed the opinion that the causes of the dry cargo crash can be somewhat.
"One of the reasons may be a technical associated with the condition of the body. With a long wave, the housing can work on a break, which leads to a different ship. There is another option: with illiterate maneuvering on big wave, if a the ship is coming Lagom to the wave, that is, on board, he can turn over. But with the excitement of four points it is irrelevant. Ships of this class, as a rule, have seaworthiness minimum five points "
According to rescuers, the ship was sent from Rostov region To Turkey with grain cargo. The cargo ship, belonging to the Turkish company, in conditions of a strong storm collapsed into two parts and sank. Crimean rescuers help Krasnodar. Search for a vessel is engaged in 127 rescuers and 8 plasticities. Specialized rescue vessel "Demidov Rescuer" arrived at the crash site. The work of aviation Yurts EMERCOM of Russia is planned. The use of aviation will be carried out on weather conditions.
The rescue operation involved the Ka-32 helicopter of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. According to the authorities of Crimea, hospitals are ready to accept victims. The ambulance brigades are already on duty on the shore.
Rescuers see people in rescue vests, unfortunately, they cannot raise them on board the rescue boat. Their strong wave is believed from the ship. A rescue boat was found in the water area, in which sailors were most likely evacuated from the vessel. She is inverted. There are no people around. A Ukrainian sailor on the name of the Tanker who arrived at the crash site was raised by Chernenko's family, born in 1982.
The Investigation Committee opened a criminal case on the fact of the crash of the surgery under part 3 of article 263 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (violation of the safety and exploitation of railway, air, sea and indoor water transport, which caused the death of two or more persons by negligence). Also verification of compliance with labor legislation in connection with the crash of the vessel will also hold Rostrud.
Until 2013, the ship was operated by the Commercial Company "Ukrrechflot", then sold US DEEPBLUE Shipping by the Turkish company. Since February 2015, he went under the flag of Panama and the name "Geroi Arsenala".
The vessel "Heroes of Arsenal" is a dry cargo ship type "Volgo-Balt" of the project 2-95a / r. It was built in 1980 on Slovenian shipbuilding plant. For eight years after the construction, the ship was based in Kaliningrad, it was attributed to the North-Western River Shipping Company of the Ministry of Finance of the RSFSR.
In 1988 it was translated into Kherson and was transferred to the Interdisciplinary State Union "Ukrrechflot". Then the ship was called "Heroes of Arsenal", in honor of the workers of the Kiev plant "Arsenal", arranged an uprising against the Ukrainian Central Rada in January 1917.
Previously, "Pravda.Ru" reported that the disaster signal from the dry cargo "Heroes of Arsenal". At this point, the ship was 27 kilometers from the coast of Crimea.
On board the dry car there were 12 people. These are nine Ukrainians, two Russians (including the captain) and a citizen of Georgia. In order to clarify the situation to the crash site, a tug was directed, due to adverse weather conditions - the wise of the sea (wave of up to three meters) and the impulse of the south-western wind to 15 meters per second - the use of ships in the pre-crash area is not possible.
Alexey Gromov.
Ukrainian vessel "Heroes Arsenal" sunk on the night on Wednesday off the coast of Crimea. To date, the salvation of one sailor is confirmed. In addition, it was reported at least three dead. The fate of the remaining crew members is unknown, rescue work continues. Investigative Committee of Russia opened a criminal case on the fact of the crash and the possible death of two or more people.
Chronicle tragedy
Located by grain dry cargo ship "Heroes Arsenal", transported grain from the city of Azov of the Rostov region to Turkey, disappeared from radar screens at 04.00 Moscow time. Six minutes before the ship, on board which was 12 people of the crew, including one woman, filed a SOS signal adopted by the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Crimea.
Assistance was late: the ship sank 27 kilometers from the coast of Crimea in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Kerch Strait.
Who was on board the sunken vessel
The crew of the "Arsenal heroes" consists of 12 people, of whom nine are citizens of Ukraine, two citizens of the Russian Federation and one sailor from Georgia. List of seafarers of the Heroes of Arsenal Heroes: Citizens of Ukraine - Biezur, Ganchevsky, Glazko, Goncharenko, Mesnjyankin, Pantyukhov, Sinyuk, Svetchkar, Chernenko (saved); Citizen Georgia Cajaya; Citizens of the Russian Federation - Vedernikov and Pateels.
What the weather was in the crash area
Now it is possible to say with a high share of confidence that one of the possible causes of the tragedy became a storm that raged in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Crimean coast. At the time of the crash, the cargo ship stood on the raid in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Kerch Strait, where a storm warning was announced on April 18. Wind speed at night reached 25 m / s.
As sailors saved
According to the Republican Ministry of Emergency Situations, specialists of the Southern Regional Search and Rescue Detachment were engaged in sailors, including six divers, the submarine apparatus "Falcon" was also involved. Also in search of missing sailors, 139 specialists of the Novorossiysk and Temryuk fire and rescue garrison participated, a special equipment was involved.
Who managed to save
At 05.34 in the morning, one of the courts nominated to the tragedy area was raised first and, it seems, while the only saved sailor is a 35-year-old Ukrainian on the surname Chernenko, who worked on a motorist's ship.
Information about four more saved sailors, which appeared in some media, was not confirmed in the Ministry of Emergency Situations. From informal sources it is known that rescuers allegedly found four more people in rescue vests, but could not reach them because of the storm.
The fate of the rest of the sailors is still unknown. It should be borne in mind that in the crash area, the storm continues, wind gusts reach up to 20 m / c., Navigation is temporarily stopped, and the water temperature in Kerch Prioral does not exceed 8 ° C.
As reported in the Maritime Directorate responsible for the ferry message in Kerch Strait, two days will continue on the forecast.
Criminal case
On the fact of the crash Southern Investigation Department of Transport Investigative Committee RF operated a criminal case on the third part of Article 263 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation "Violation of the rules of safety of motion and operation sea transport, entailed by negligence the death of two or more persons. " Note, officially death of people in this crash is not yet subject to, an operation that continues in the Kerch Strait is considered to be rescue.
Possible causes of wreck
In addition to the storm that raised in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Kerch Strait, a hazardous factor, according to experts, was the cargo itself, since the grain with improper loading during a strong can slurry from the side of the board, creating unbalanced and provoking a spill or turning the vessel.
Also, many Internet users noted that the cargo ship was quite old, he was 37 years old. At the same time, for old Soviet courts, this is not urgent age, they differ sufficient reliability. At the same time, it is unknown how professional was the crew, and a sufficient amount of money was inserted to the vessel's repair and maintain it in working condition.
What is known about the vessel
The cargo ship "Heroes Arsenal" belongs to the Turkish company Gunes Shipping & Trading, the ship sailed under the Panama flag.
This is a cargo ship type "Volgo-Balt", project 2-95a / r. The ship was built in 1980 on Slovenian shipbuilding plant. At first, the ship was assigned to the Northwest RSFSR Ministry of Ratary Shipping Company and was based in Kaliningrad.
In 1988, the vessel was translated into Kherson (then the Ukrainian SSR, now - Ukraine), entered the inter-sectoral state association "Ukrrechflot" and got the name "Heroes of Arsenal", in honor of the workers of the Kiev plant "Arsenal", raised uprising against the Ukrainian Central Rada in January 1917.
Until 2013, the ship was operated by Ukrrechflot, which then resell his Turkish company Gunes Shipping. From February 2015, the vessel was officially called Geroi Arsenala.
In March - April 2017, the cargo ship went to the route of Herge (Turkey) - Azov - Rostov-on-Don - Poti (Georgia) - Azov. In your last flight The ship came out on April 15 from Azov.
Ukrainians are guilty of "invaders"
At the moment, the rescue operation and investigative actions continue, but the users of the Ukrainian segment of social networks have already found the perpetrator, and yes, you guessed correctly - this is "occupiers", that is, Russia, which includes Crimea with Kerch-crossing. Say, undercluded, which means to blame. And have already reached that the assistance came not immediately, although it is known that the collapse occurred in the conditions of a strong storm, and hurrying to help the court simply could not approach the dry bar
The most, let's say gently, sad that some Ukrainian users at the same time hurried to blame, perhaps the deceased fellow citizens in treason. At the same time, some users willingly replicate fakes that allegedly Ukrainian courts are not allowed to rescue operations.
Here are examples of such comments:
Well done, Ukrainians. We flooded enemy cargo ship, not sick of life. Probably the one who was saved soon to give an interview with a story about his Right-School ("right sector" *, the organization of the organization is prohibited in the Russian Federation - approx. Fan) activities, and the FSB is reported on the capture of another suty spy.
The bridge has strengthened! Nakhimovski!
Yes hell with him, grain (54 carriage), on the sunken in the Kerch Strait, the ship of 9 Ukrainians, and no one is taken to save Ukrainians, because / Russians / do not give. Ukrainian rescue ships are not allowed! Even accused of extremism!
And answers:
What are you happy, idiots? Ship under the Panama flag, most crew - Ukrainians. Continue to ride, / bad people.
It is necessary to maintain the ships, and not on the Maidan ride!
And it seems, not the heard shout of one of the users:
Come home! People died!
* Organization is prohibited in the territory of the Russian Federation.

On Wednesday, April 19, 2017, at about 3 o'clock in the morning, in the Black Sea, south of the Kerch Strait, approximately 27 km from Crimea sank the ship "Heroes Arsenal". According to available data, 1 member of the crew has been saved. The rest, 11 crew members probably died.
Weather.
Weather conditions in the area of \u200b\u200bthe death of the vessel. The wind is southwest, up to 20 m / s, gust up to 25 m / s. With this direction and speed of the wind, the average wave height is about 7 meters. However, it can reach 10 meters. These weather conditions are classified as a storm force of 9 points on the Bafort scale.
Description of the vessel.
The motor ship "Heroes of Arsenal" was built at a shipbuilding plant in Komarno, in Slovakia, in 1980 and from the construction was called "Volga-Balt 224".
Court of type "Volgo-Balt" belong to the courts "River-Sea". This is a one-challenge, four-trumina, two-screw vessel. Two engines with a capacity of 515 kV each. The length of the vessel is 114 meters. Width 13 meters. The height of the side is 5.5 meters. Sediment 3.86 meters. Load capacity 3500 tone. Vessel speed 10 nodes. As for the speed, the vessel may develop 10 nodes with new engines. At the age of 36, with "killed" engines, the maximum that you can expect about 7.5 knots.
The vessel was designed in the early 60s of the last century. The first Volgo Balt was built in 1967. Exactly 50 years ago. The vessel was designed with the intended exploitation during the summer navigation on the internal waterways European part of the USSR. With access to the sea: White, Baltic and Azov. Moreover, with the following, very significant restrictions, both to remove from the nearest port of refuge and on weather conditions. For reference: "Refuge port" is any port in which the ship can go in case of bad weather. Baltic Sea: Finnish and Riga Bay, 20-Mil coastal zone Along the southern I. eastern coast to the port of Kaliningrad. White Sea: Onega, Dvinskaya and Kandalaksha lips, and a 20-mile coastal zone to the mouth of the river. Mesoth. Swimming was allowed at the strength of the wind 5 pointswhat corresponds to wind speed 8 - 10.7 m / second, with a wave height before 2.5 M.. Maximum removal from the nearest port of shelters to 50 miles. The "Volgo-Balt" type vessels had a registry class - "Mr.", which resolved the operation of the vessel under the above conditions. Over time, the area of \u200b\u200boperation of vessels type "Volgo-Balt" expanded, and by the end of the 80s, the court already went: in the Baltic Sea to all ports with the exit of the cattlegat to the Cape Skagen - port of Gothengh; Through the Killy Channel went to the North Sea to the ports of Hamburg and Bremen. In the Black Sea - through the Bosphorus and Dardanelles went to the Aegean Sea and went to the ports of Greece and Turkey. In the time of the USSR, it can be said that in general, the conditions of operation were observed. Captains who violated the rules of exploitation, severe punishments threatened. And in the case of the death of the vessel - a real prison sentence. Yes, in general, it makes no sense to risk. On ships, Radines regularly accepted weather forecasts, and the captain made the decision to go or defend waiting for the weather to improve. IN winter time I must say defended on debt, sometimes weeks. From the point of view of current concepts, it is unacceptable, but for sailors was relatively safe!
Read carefully, once again, the conditions under which the operation of new vessels of this class of the register was allowed, and we compare with weather conditions in the area of \u200b\u200bthe death of the vessel, April 19, 2017 The conclusion is obvious: the ship turned out to be in the conditions under which its safe operation is impossible.
The technical condition of the vessel at the time of death
As already mentioned, the ship was exploited from 1980, that is, 36 years. Is there a lot or a little? I answer with a complete understanding: "Very, critical, not allowed, a lot!". Supervised vessels have been designed as mentioned above, mainly for exploitation in summer navigation on inland waterways. For brevity we will use the abbreviation - GDP. GDP navigation in the European part of the USSR-Russia is carried out mainly from April / May to November / December, depending on the region. The sizes of the vessel are due to dimensions of gateways on GDP, especially in the White Sea-Baltic Channel. Therefore, the length of the vessel is 114 m, and the width is 13 m. The project, the longitudinal strength of the vessel case provides safe operation under the conditions set out above. The set of vessel housing is welded from a steel profile with a thickness of about 6 - 8 millimeters. The hull of the vessel is welded from steel sheets with a thickness of 10 - 12 mm. For the design conditions of this it was quite enough. The reasonable life of the vessels "River-Sea" about 25 years, subject to high-quality, scheduled repair of the vessel, in compliance with the rules of technical operation. During operation, the longitudinal strength of the courts of type "River-Sea" is significantly reduced. This is due to the following reasons: metal fatigue, body destruction and recruitment under the influence of corrosion, not compliance with the rules of loading of the vessel. Since the courts are mainly intended for operation on GDP, the ballast tanks were not stained. Accordingly, under the action of corrosion, the kit and the body is badly damaged. It is very expensive to change the set of a set, so since the beginning of the 90s, was mainly limited to small corpus repairs. In places the set rotted completely, one scale remained. And holes and cracks in the set, and in the case it was completely full. Boatswain with sailors put cement boxes with dozens! On one vessel, in 1987, we had 40 cracks in the corps! When the vessel was in the cargo, the ballast pumps worked regularly, pumping down the wicked water entering the cracks.
After the collapse of the USSR, the fleet was privatized and its operation began without complying with any restrictions. "Volga-Balti" could be found in La Manne, and in the Biscay of Gulf and in Gibraltar, and in the Mediterranean Sea, and in Caspians! It should also be noted that for greater profits, the carrying capacity of almost all vessels of this type has been increased and, therefore, the load on the body has increased more project. However, control of state supervisory authorities was practically not carried out. All acted according to the principle of "approval-s!", And those who were against themselves know how they did. Obviously, with such an operation of the vessel, by 36 years, the condition of the hull has become quite old, therefore, the strength of the case is significantly lower than the project. It is possible that the above is not allowed to present a complete picture of the state of the vessel. Express briefly. The state of the vessel was very old, one can say sad.
Taking into account the state of the vessel and weather conditions, it can be concluded that the vessel had very little chance to withstand the storm of such strength. The vessel was designed for safe operation with maximum excitement to 2.5 meters. The real wave height was about 5-7 meters, and at times more. Worn and weakened housing could not withstand bending moments and breakdown.
So far there are no reliable data that the body was broken, it is impossible to exclude the probability of tipping the vessel from the loss of stability caused by the displacement of the grain cargo. If the rules for safe transportation of grain were not observed, and in the holds were significant, not filled volumes, then in the conditions of pitching grain could shift, the vessel lost stability and overturned.
In general, it should be noted that for the "Volgo-Balta", in the open sea, storm, 9 points is not just a lot, it is extremely much! It is like a clash of 36-year-old Zhiguli with a new kraz! Well, or about it.
Shipowners
According to the official data of the shipowners of the vessel, is a company registered in Turkey: US DeepBlue Shipping Inc.
Technical operation and management in accordance with the requirements of the International Code on the safe operation of ships (ISM), a company registered in Turkey also carried out: Gunes Denizcilik Nakliyat. The company has official 5 ships. Over the past 3 years, the courts were checked about 30 times. Ship detention was not.
The vessel was registered in Panama and carried the Panaman flag respectively. Classification Society Supervision - Dromon Bureu of Shipping.
The last time the vessel confirmed the class in August 2015. All ship documents had existing timelines. International certificate of safety of the cargo ship is valid until 10.04.2020. So formally everything corresponded to the requirements.
Analysis of the situation
The vessel regularly arrived in Russian ports and regularly, approximately every 6 months, was subjected to mandatory audits, in accordance with the requirements of the Paris Memorandum and the Mediterranean Memorandum. The last time the vessel was checked in the port of Temryuk. 11.01.2017. 6 comments were written. For the vessel, age of 36 years, comments, you can say insignificant. List them all:
- Entries in the journal of operations with oil-containing waters do not meet the requirements.
- The supply of rescue boats does not comply with the requirements.
- The magazine is not conducted by defining compasses amendments.
- The temperature storage regime is not respected.
- There are no records of weekly checks of cabins, leisure places Teams, provisions and drinking water.
- Protective devices of moving parts of mechanisms do not meet the requirements.
Let's say straight, very insignificant comments. Based on these comments, the impression is that the ship was in satisfactory condition. However, not all so simple. Go on the list of checks. From 2014, the vessel was checked 10 times. Of these, 7 times in Russian ports: Temryuk, Yeisk, Taganrog, Azov and Rostov-on-Don. So in all reports about checks in our ports there are no comments reflecting the technical condition of the vessel. And only in the report on checking in Istanbul in the Mediterranean Memorandum of 12.08.2016, there is a remark about damage in the area of \u200b\u200bcargo ships, which affects the design strength of the vessel.
What conclusion can be done? Conclusion is simple. Checks are formal. This is done in favor of commercial benefits and to the detriment of the crew security, and also creates a threat to the pollution of the sea with diesel fuel, lubricant oils and other trash, which is full of old courts.
As a result of the death of the vessel, diesel fuel and everything else fell into the sea near Anapa and the Crimea.
Formally, the ship has nothing to do with Russia, except that several crew members were citizens of Russia. However, the last port of the approach was in Russia and the ship was located near the coast of Russia. There was an opportunity not to go out into the Black Sea and wait for the storm in the Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov. But for some reason they did not. It is possible that customs or borderline formalities prevented this.
Conclusion
The death of the next vessel of the "River-Sea" type in the Black Sea should pay attention to state control bodies for the state of the courts coming in the ports of Russia. The Black Sea can be said, it became literally the cemetery of the courts "River-Sea". Almost the entire fleet of the courts of Russian shipowners is located in the Black Sea region and the Caspian Sea. The state of the courts is terrible, the courts are registered under all sorts of exotic flags. This allows their owners to reduce operating costs. However, thereby they create a threat to the lives of the crews of ships and the threat of pollution ambient.
Currently, the average age of the courts "River-Sea" passed over 30 years and exceeded the regulatory and reasonable deadlines. It can be said that, with the exception of several dozen relatively vessels "River-Sea", all others, several hundred, are in emergency and represent a potential danger to people and the environment. It is necessary to carry out the construction of new vessels as intensively, to bring the most "killed" courts and strengthen control over the technical condition and rules of exploitation of the entire fleet of the courts "River-Sea".
Rescuers continue to search for members of the crew of the sunken dry cargo "Heroes of Arsenal". Recall, at 03:54 in the morning on Wednesday, on April 19, in the Kerch Strait disappeared with the Radarov Dry cargo ship "Heroes of Arsenal". Wreck occurred in 15 miles (almost 28 kilometers - Auto) From the village of Taman.
At 05:34 found and raised on board the ship "Armada Navigator" of one victim in rescue vest With signs of strong supercooling (water temperature in seven or eight degrees above zero). He had first prefigure help.
Komsomolskaya Pravda - Kuban "contacted a member of the crew of the tanker, which is located in nine kilometers from the PE place.
Now searches continue. Five minutes ago, the rescue ship-towway "Demidov" reported that they found a person, but it is still unknown, he is alive or not. And also two more crew members were observed in water. Saved so far only one is a Ukrainian by the name Chernenko, he is 35 years old. He was a motorist on the ship, "said" KP " a member of the crew of the tanker located in the Kerch Strait, Igor Timofeev. "As far as I know, there is one dead - we saw the load 200. A little later, they reported that in the water, another person was noticed in the wettoxy. Trying to catch it, but can not yet.
This is the weather today in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Kerch Strait. Southwest wind over 20 m / s and a wave under 4-5 meters. At night, the disaster "Heroes Arsenal". Near our steamer, a pair of cable dragged a steamer whose anchor pulled out.
Also discovered an empty rescue inflatable raft and two inverted boats.
At 15:00, rescuers discovered another wetsuit in water. But later it turned out that it was empty.
