About Volgoneft 248
MV Volgoneft-248 (ΠΠΎΠ»Π³ΠΎΠ½Π΅ΡΡΡ-248) was a Project 1577 Volgoneft oil tanker that was owned and operated by Volgotanker. She was built in the Soviet Union in 1975. A storm in the Sea of Marmara in 1999 broke her in two. Her forward section sank, and her aft section ran aground. Her bow was later raised and scrapped. Much of her cargo of oil was spilt, causing a major pollution incident. That pollution, its effect, and the clean-up work, have become the subject of a number of academic studies in Turkey.
