eBlue_economy_SUNNY LIGER Indian tanker with Russian oil refused entry by Sweden, Rotterdam, and now Amsterdam

Strictly speaking, tanker according to sanctions imposed on Russia, falls under the “exceptions” section of sanctions, but nevertheless.
A tanker sailed to the Netherlands, but again, the Rotterdam dockers union refused to work with Russian cargo, and SUNNY LIGER had to move to Amsterdam’s outer anchorage in the North Sea, arriving there late Apr 29. A decision on the hapless tanker is to be made in the morning of Apr 30, during a special meeting.
