One of the survivors of the crash trawler “Far East” in the Sea of Okhotsk, fish processors Anatoly Vasil’chenko told reporters in the Sakhalin port of Korsakov, where early in the morning on April 7 profits with two ships rescued sailors and dead bodies, that the tragedy is likely to become overweight trawler.
“Most likely, it was a lot of cargo, and have extra weight on board. Fish were many” – was quoted as RIA “Novosti” .
Recall, the government initially claimed the Kamchatka Krai of the proposed reloading in the selection of the trawl vessel with fish as the probable cause of the accident, but Rosrybolovstvo insisted that there was no overload. Later saved minder trawler and Acting Governor of Sakhalin Oleg Kozhemyako announced that the ship was too many fish in the absence of ballast counterweight, which was the cause of the crash. The investigation reported that it is considering a dozen versions of the tragedy.

Kozhemyako promised to deal with overdrive and foreigners

It is difficult to say who – mechanics or captain – decided not to fill the ballast tanks with water. Somewhere desire to take more fish “- quoted him TASS.
Editor of “The fisherman of Sakhalin” said Vladimir Bubnov BFM.ru , how could this tragedy happen: “Violation of the stability of the vessel roll. The boat was already loaded with, that is prepared to reboot, no ballast not exist, the fuel was 57 tons in all, this means that the bottom is very light. And when pulled trawl vessel enters the circulation and makes a U-turn. It capsized and all.
Ballast to counterbalance, and the weight was not. It is possible that banned pour sea water there, because then it will be necessary for three days about the tanks cleaned, washed their seawater to pour fuel. It costs extra, three simple.
On a vessel of this type, very large ship, the crew of 94 people. You can take on board up to 100 people. Took the additional labor, apparently processing. Of course, without the shipowner gain 40 extra impossible. Cheap guest workers – Filipinos, Malays – pay them a penny, but they are very satisfied, for $ 300, they can feed the whole family, even though our fishermen get three thousand dollars. We have sanitary book should be, they have no care, no medical book. We need documents that you completed courses to ensure the survivability and the ship, and there is not anyone interested. All the blame on the captain, the captain is not present “.
