MOBY OTTA
After the 'Moby Drea' was towed to the Split shipyard Brodosplit, where over the next two months, around 350 tons of metal panels will be removed, inside of which a layer of around 100 tons of asbestos has been compressed, the 'Moby Otta' will soon arrive in Split to undergo the same work. The ship is owned by the same Italian company and with similar characteristics. The value of this operationis estimated to be around half a million euros per ship. The panels will not be cut or crushed in the Split shipyard, and even the screw holes will be poured with water and detergent. The problem arose when journalists asked Jurišić where the removed panels would actually end up. Turkey has a limit on receiving a maximum of 50 tons of asbestos, and it is expected that the ship will contain at least 100 tons, or a total of 350 tons with heavy metal panels. Croatia does not have such restrictions.
