The exact reason is not known so far
Two divers from Turkey died while performing the works on recovering a vessel that had sunk near Kulevsky oil terminal not far from the city of Poti, RIA Novosti reports.
According to the TV company, the divers were recovering the Skadovski Ukrainian vessel which sank in 2008 while carrying out dredging works at the entrance to Kulevi.
“We signed a contract with a Turkish company, which was cutting the vessel and taking it out of the water. The technical aspect was the entire responsibility of this company. An investigation is carried on. We do not know the exact reason so far; it is to be determined by the investigation”, – said head of the public relations service of Kulevsky terminal Imran Ayvazov.
The incident supposedly happened because of the gas or oil products that had accumulated in the vessel and exploded when the welding machine was switched on.
