The Pola Ariake has been docked since Wednesday at the trade port of Lorient Kergroise. The ship arrived in Lorient on Monday morning, coming from Ukraine and loaded with 27,000 tons of soybeans for animal feed. The Pola Ariake is a 180m bulk carrier built in 2019, sailing under the flag of Panama but whose owner is the Russian ministerial transport company. It is for this reason that it was frozen on Wednesday by the customs services of Lorient. Victor Tonnerre, director of the trade port of Lorient Kergroise, explains: "We did not know that the owner was Russian, it was the Direction of Customs Operations of Nantes who, through their research, discovered the nature of the owner of the ship. She will stay in the port of Lorient but will be moved, we will change the dock to allow the operation of the trade port. The cargo itself is not blocked, it is the hull. The ship is still unloading. The crew, made up of about 20 Russian and Ukrainian sailors, remains free to move around."
