About MV Volgoneft-239
MV Volgoneft-239 (Волгонефть-239) is a Project 1577 Volgoneft oil tanker that was built in the Soviet Union in 1973. She ran aground in a storm in the Kerch Strait in 2024. Another Project 1577 tanker, Volgoneft-212, broke in two and foundered nearby in the same storm, causing the 2024 Kerch Strait oil spill. The Volgoneft-239 was emptied, dismantled and recycled afterward. The dismantling was filmed by Russian videographers and can be seen on the internet where permitted.
