The Tongan-flagged ship Sanni that ran aground near the Bulgarian village of Rezovo split into three, Ognyan Gramatikov, Director of Sea Administration Directorate - Burgas, announced. The middle section of the ship is half under water, while the stern and the prow are afloat some 30, 40 metres off the cost. Bad weather conditions prevent the special commission, set up to investigate the case, to go aboard the Sanni ship. The speed of the wind reached 20 metres per second. The crew aboard the Tongan-flagged ship Sanni was evacuated Sunday. The crew consists of three Greek and four Romanians nationals. The evacuees have been identified as Greeks Stavropoulos Kostadinos, Stavros Klidoniyaris and Gerassimos Chipolitas and Romanians Florin Peter, Eugen Nadsigu, Valentin Ambrosi and Mircea Tutuianu. Strong wind and rough sea stranded the ship in the shallows near the village of Rezovo late in the evening on December 6.
