The Vera Su has been bought by a company, which was the only bidder at the 4th auction for the sale of the ship today. The ship was sold at the tendered price of USD 276,000, without VAT. There were no bidders at the previous auction, when the initial price was USD 460,000 without VAT.

The Panamanian-flagged ship, transporting 3,000 tons of nitrogen fertilizers, ran aground near the protected area Yailata on September 20, 2021 and was towed on October 26, 2021. For the Vera Su towing operation, the Bulgarian state paid over 1.4 million euro. By selling the ship, the country was hoping to cover its expenses.
