“I have been a sailor for 40 years. I have never left a ship. I have a responsibility to my crew “, said the captain of” Vera Su “Haidar Ergun before the Varna Court of Appeal.
He and his second aide, Kemal Ayhan, demanded their release under house arrest. Their lawyers presented them with rental agreements for the defendants to stay while the case goes on. They were provided by the owner of the ship, Kamer Marin, who sent his representatives to the case.
The prosecutor’s office did not agree, because the lease agreement cannot guarantee that they will not escape. Both are Turkish citizens, and the Bulgarian authorities do not have the opportunity to request their surrender because the European arrest warrant does not apply to the seamen’s homeland.
“I am sorry for what happened, I am at the beginning of my professional experience. In a foreign country, without money and documents, in addition to legal assistance, I also need moral protection. I want to clear my name, “said the younger sailor. Eventually, the Varna Court of Appeals remanded them in custody.
During the meeting, the operation to unload Vera Su began on Kamen Bryag.
At about 10 o’clock the teams made an attempt to drain the engine room. The cutter approached the deck. Plastic waste and other environmentally hazardous materials were loaded on boats.
“Part of the cargo is in liquid form and will be unloaded on the barges and then transhipped on the ship” Ecolaxi “. The hard lumps will be scraped from the port of Varna – east will be loaded on covered wagons. All this must be done by Thursday or Friday, because after that the weather will deteriorate again, “Transport Minister Hristo Alexiev said on Tuesday. (24 hours)
