Those are different ships. The BBC story is about two oil tankers sinking in the Kerch Strait diving Crimea from Russia. This ship however sank in Ust-Luga, which is the Baltic Sea near St Petersburg.

Right. I'm just saying that Russia's averaging more than an oil tanker a month when you consider this ship and those two.

Quite a coincidence.
