GEORGIAN COAST GUARD DETAINS RUSSIAN TANKER
By empty (3/19/2005 issue of the CACI Analyst)
Georgian Coast Guard units detained a Russian tanker late on 19 March outside the port of Batumi for \"violating navigation rules.\" The ship\'s 15-member crew was allowed to go ashore, although the owner must pay a 50,000 lari ($27,000) fine before the vessel is released. The Georgian coast guard has detained more than 30 foreign vessels for similar violations over the last two years, including another Russian ship in June 2004.Visit also
