After the Russian officials inspected the damage on the Norwegian-registered M-T Sten Nordic, they granted permission for the vessel to proceed to Tallinn at around 4.30 a.m. This decision allowed the ship, carrying 11,000 tons of gas oil and manned by a Filipino crew, to resume its journey. The approval signaled a positive outcome for the vessel's operations, reflecting the interconnected nature of international maritime trade and the resolution of potential disruptions.
