Extra info:
On 21/01/2019, while transferring LPG from the vessel to the Maestro (LPG tanker, IMO: 8810700), an explosion occurred, the fire spread to both ships.
The death toll was high, of the 32 sailors, only 12 were rescued by Russians salvage vessels.
For fear of further explosions, it was decided to let the LPG cargo consume so that the blaze would burn out, after 44 days of initial explosion, both vessels were declared total loss
