On February 26, the Court of Appeals of China's Special Administrative Region Xianggang (Hong Kong) granted a request of Naftogaz-67 captain Yuriy Kulemesin on his release on bail, according to press-service of SJSC Chornomornaftogaz.
Ukrainian captain, as well as captain of the Chinese Yao Hai bulker and two local pilots, were found guilty by the District Court of Hong Kong of creating danger to life in the sea. Kulemesin was sentenced for 3.2 years of imprisonment.
