The Russian cargo ship Ursa Major sank in the Mediterranean between Spain and Algeria following an engine room explosion, Russia’s foreign ministry confirmed.
Fourteen crew members were rescued and taken to Cartagena, Spain, while two remain missing. The ship, carrying two 380-tonne cranes, had departed St. Petersburg 12 days earlier en route to Vladivostok.
The vessel, built in 2009, was sanctioned by the US government in 2022 over the owner’s transportation of shipments to the Russian military after hostilities between Ukraine and Russia began.
