The ghosts of the fishing port are already starving



[ad_1]

Nowhere else will you see so many abandoned boats as in Klaipeda, in the fishing port.

Are you waiting for compensation?

The old little fishing boats were turned into scrap yards. Not a single ship has been repeatedly sunk in this port, towed back and moored back at the dock.

It supports that nobody needs, it pollutes the waters. The public authorities lock them up after drowning, collect the pollutants and detain them.

What are the owners of those boats waiting for? Perhaps fishermen expect compensation from the EU? Half of that fleet can be boldly scrapped.

There are many fishing ports around the Baltic Sea, but you will never see such an abandoned fishing fleet anywhere else.

Haven’t fished in a decade

More importantly, such scrapping and liquidation is impossible. Everything on these docks is strangely intertwined. Part of that scrap is no longer absorbed by fishermen, but by banks, in exchange for unpaid loans.

Therefore, there is not even the theoretical possibility of cutting some ships. The more you receive compensation for them. They are promised that they will be paid only for boats that have been fishing for the last 2-3 years. Some of these ghosts haven’t fished for a decade or more.

The paradox: Unnecessary ships have been standing next to scrap piles for decades, but they haven’t been turned into scrap. / Editorial file photo

What to do with them, no one knows yet. Ships seem to have owners, but they don’t seem to have them.

A ship has already sunk in this port maybe 2-3 times. When the Port Authority wanted to seize its owner for this, it was embroiled in a long-running legal dispute.

Klondaik was written about in the fishing port a decade ago, but little has changed during that time.

Ghostly and fisherman

It is no coincidence that the fishing port of Klaipėda has already been given the name of a ghost port. The ghosts of not only the boats, but also the Baltic Sea fishing is getting ghostly. Cod fishing has been banned and quotas for other fish have been lowered.

Q: Who knows what else to expect from this ship? / Editorial file photo

The residents of Klaipėda laugh at the ghost. I had to read the following review: “what a beautiful portrait of Klaipeda harbor with those fishing boats. This is just the beginning: when there is no more Belarusian cargo, the whole port will look like this. “

There is a deep subtext, but if there were no Belarusian cargo, there would be fewer ships arriving at the port, because non-Lithuanians carry Belarusian cargo.
