The locals saved two crew members from the sea. Port captain Robert Baljkas said that there are no apparent signs of sea pollution.
- If there are any leaks, we don't know about them. The ship runs on a diesel engine and we still need to determine all facts. "Tijat" received a ban on sailing and the investigation will continue - Bajlkas said.
