95.000 ton oil can burn great.
The Aframax Rio tanker was reportedly carrying crude oil from Novorossiysk to India and was nearly fully loaded. It was sailing under the Liberian flag.
According to the monitoring channel, the Aframax Rio vessel, when fully loaded, can carry approximately 700,000–750,000 barrels of oil, or approximately 95,000–105,000 tons of oil, depending on the density and actual load.
Russian media reports that the tanker’s captain requested the evacuation of 23 crew members. No fatalities or injuries were reported.
Nice fire.
