IMMINGHAM REMAINS OUT OF BOUNDS FOR CONTENTIOUS CARGO OF RUSSIAN OIL

 A NEW attempt to land a cargo of Russian oil in Immingham appears to have hit the buffers.

For most of the past four weeks, the tanker, Seavictory, has been at anchor off the Yorkshire Coast after being refused entry to the Humber port.

Earlier this month, she headed for the ports of  Vlissingen in The Netherlands, then Antwerp in Belgium, to allow her paperwork to be updated and to give her crew the chance to spend precious time on dry land.

At the weekend, she was heading back to Immingham where she was due to arrive at 5.30am yesterday.

But again the authorities have apparently said no to her entry.

Today she has again been in limbo off  Withernsea on the Yorkshire Coast until a decision can be reached on her ultimate destination - and that of her contentious cargo.
