Bulk Carrier Joins Russian Grain Plundering Operation
The Liberian-flagged handysize bulker MARIA GS , recently sold by its Greek Owners to Russian state-owned United Shipbuilding Corporation's Astrakhan-based subsidiary Crane Marine Contractors (CMC), has turned off its AIS en route to Crimea. This action and its recent re-flagging indicate it has joined Russia's immense plundering operation of Ukrainian goods.
