Poland’s State Secretary and Ministry of Infrastructure announced the order in a posting on social media on Thursday “We are removing Russian scrap from our port The state acts and ensures the safety of Polish infrastructure,” he wrote announcing the decision of the Ministry Port officials said they have been trying for months to gain the authority to act to remove the tanker which was detained in the port in October 2017 after a failed Port State inspection promised repairs to address structural issues identified during the inspection and to take steps to correct issues identified regarding the training and competence of the crew the tanker has languished in the port while the owner declared bankruptcy in 2020 The media says the tanker recently twice broke away from its moorings Port officials said tugs were able to secure the vessel but they too raised concerns about port safety but the port said since a trustee was named in the bankruptcy and has occasionally checked on the vessel it can not be officially listed as abandoned.  Port and government officials raised concerns about the lack of maintenance They noted that the fuel cargo tanks have not been properly vented raising the concern of a buildup of explosive vapors Media speculation in January also asked if the Russians might be using the vessel as a base of operations to spy on NATO They noted the use of the port for military equipment including shipments into Ukraine of equipment from the West while also speculating if listening or recording devices might be aboard the ship.  The Maritime Directorate in Gdynia has now issued an official order for the removal of the tanker It instructed the port to have the Khatanga removed from the port as quickly as possible but set a deadline of three months.  “The vessel poses a threat to the safety of navigation and is withdrawn from service,” the Directorate writes the Port of Gdynia Authority has been obliged to remove the Russian ship Khatanga." It is expected that the port will attempt to sell or auction the vessel but it is noted that it is incapable of navigation under its own power The expectation is that it will be sold for scrap (Top photo in Gdynia harbor in July 2020 by Braveheart - CC BY-SA 4.0) Poland’s Ministry of Infrastructure announced a recent order to remove an old Russian tanker that has been sitting at the Gdynia Port for over 7 years which had been detained at the facility in October 2017 The 23,000 DWT product tanker Khatanga has become the centre of attention as it raises concerns over Russian espionage apart from security and maritime safety concerns as it has not undergone any maintenance for years Port Officials stated that they had tried for months to get permission to get rid of the tanker which had remained there since it failed a port inspection in 2017 the Murmansk Shipping Company had agreed to undertake repairs to handle the structural problems pointed out in the inspection and also equip the crew members with the required training the shipping company went bankrupt and since then the tanker has remained at the Port the tanker has broken from its moorings twice Port authorities have said that since a trustee was named in the bankruptcy which has seldom kept a check on the ship The main reason for this step has been maintenance issues and the fact that it has not been operational Its fuel cargo tanks have not been adequately vented leading to a possible buildup of explosive gases or vapours There have been discussions regarding the ship’s use by Russians to carry out spying activities on NATO since this port has been used for loading and unloading military supplies including shipping of military equipment to Ukraine There have been speculations regarding the ship being fitted with recording devices as well Poland’s State Secretary Arkadiusz Marchewka announced in a social media post that they will remove the Russian scrap from their port to ensure the safety of port infrastructure Gdynia’s Maritime Directorate’s official order says that the ship must be removed as soon as possible The port will likely sell or auction the ship but it is known that the ship cannot navigate using its own power The Directorate has allowed port authorities to ask the tanker’s owner for reimbursement of costs for the entire time the vessel was moored in the port The port authority would utilise the proceeds from the vessel’s sale to cover some costs and the unpaid dockage fee Disclaimer : The information contained in this website is for general information purposes only While we endeavour to keep the information up to date and correct we make no representations or warranties of any kind suitability or availability with respect to the website or the information or related graphics contained on the website for any purpose Any reliance you place on such information is therefore strictly at your own risk In no event will we be liable for any loss or damage including without limitation or any loss or damage whatsoever arising from loss of data or profits arising out of Do you have info to share with us ?

When I first heard that there would be an adaptation of Quo Vadis, a historical novel written by Henryk Sienkiewicz 130 years ago about the first Christians in Rome, I thought it was a pretty crazy idea; when I learned that it would be a cabaret/circus-style adaptation, I raised an eyebrow in disbelief. After the first song about Nero's daughter, I knew: I had too little faith in Polish creativity. The show is genius. From the costumes, the set design, the music, and the actors to the staging and dancing, everything is like a layer of the biggest cake of perfection you've ever tasted. And the good news is that it's zero calories. As it is difficult to describe how impressive the show is, it is even harder to describe the actors and songs, so I will limit myself to sharing with you only my favorites. The one and only Petronius (Marek Nedza): the fashionista of ancient Rome has such charisma that he could convince a statue to dance. The Song of Acne (Karolina Merda): reverse dance sequences, so brilliant and so simple! Dancers like animals, flowers, and human decorations. Finally, the universalized message of this old text can be transformed into any time and circumstance, because greed, power, and passion are and have been the driving forces of history. From the first to the very last minute, you will feel like you have hit the golden jackpot. After a marathon of musical performances, I thought I’d take a breather at the dramatic theatre, hoping for a quiet evening. But lo and behold, I found myself swept away in a whirlwind of emotion and song—who would have thought? You enter the club, leave your coat, and receive a headset with three simple buttons—on/off, channel, and volume. Excitement builds as you descend the stairs into the play’s venue. Though there are seating options, a huge crowd already stands, each person donning a headset of a different color that signals the channel they're tuned into—be it music or a podcast about slow life.

compensation for the costs incurred during the ship’s time in the Port of Gdynia the Russian owner of the ship went bankrupt and ceased operations in 2020 “We are removing Russian scrap from our port,” Deputy Infrastructure Minister Arkadiusz Marchewka wrote on social media following the announcement of the oil tanker removal The Ministry states that the vessel “poses a threat to the safety of navigation” told local broadcaster Kanał Plus that in recent months the ship’s moorings loosened during rough weather and it had to be secured by a tugboat Usuwamy rosyjski złom z naszego portu

castles and wide boulevards appears: the "Paris of the East" mostly unscathed by Nazi occupation in the 1940s or socialist planning in the 70s Moments later the train hums through a timeless Czech countryside Onion-domed churches and frozen fishing lakes scroll past as the train sprints north The recently launched route from Prague to Gdynia on Poland's Baltic coast operates four times daily and takes travellers directly into Central Europe's most vibrant and less-touristed cities that were previously tricky to get to It will entice international travellers who want to combine a city break with a rural experience The term "Baltic Express" is an ambitious misnomer Think of this new 878km connection not as one of the speedy plane-killer routes trending in recent years – like London to Amsterdam or Istanbul to Ankara – custom-built to compete with budget airlines the eight-hour trip promises a scenic history tour through overlapping empires via some of the Czech Republic and Poland's most buzzing cities this highly affordable and experiential journey allows passengers to hop-on and hop-off wherever they choose My own journey started in Prague's Hlavní Nádraží station the terminus looks like a cathedral to train travel with twin cupolas rising from its roof like Roman temples The station was built in 1871 when the Austro-Hungarian Empire laid train tracks around the empire as a way of weaving all trade and security through the empire's capital of Vienna Nádraží Hlavní's main departure hall was decorated when the Czech Republic was under Soviet domination and is a socialist rainbow of primary colours one floor above sits an original waiting room styled in Art Nouveau while a soaring dome in this higher level overlooks Romanesque statues and polished brass rails the fancy Foyer Café opened in an adjoining salon serving Czech riesling and viennoiserie pastries high above the hoi polloi It's a fine way to start a continental meander After just one hour aboard the Baltic Express The 100,000-person city exudes Czech charm with church steeples shaped like space rockets and townhouses coloured every shade of pastel Pardubice's Austro-Hungarian townhouses are as fancily familiar as in every empire city: Sarajevo Yet I can count that day's tourists on one hand Train Journeys is a BBC Travel series that celebrates the world's most interesting train rides and inspires readers to travel overland Ironically, statues in Pardubice commemorate the birthplace of Czech aviator Jan Kašpar Kašpar flew south from Pardubice to Prague following the railway tracks now used by the Baltic Express The mechanical efficiency of aviation has competed with the romanticism of rail ever since I rejoin the Baltic Express an hour before sunset The topography rises towards the Polish border in an undulating green sheen hunting lodges and deep snows as the train climbs into the quickening night only a choral chirp from passengers' cellular networks welcomes our train to Poland I share my seating cabin with a woman named Marta Kortas who works in Gdansk's data analytics industry "The train has made a new connection for me because I have friends in Prague and southern Poland," she tells me The region of rural Silesia flashes past in the dark where passengers can get off for thermal springs and salt mines "I even dreamt I could move back and use the train to commute to my office a few days per month Wroclaw and Poznan makes that dream much easier." •  A new night train connecting some of Europe's great cities •  Europe's stunning high-tech luxury train •  The Train d'Artouste: Europe's highest narrow-gauge train Around 20:00, I alight, alongside Polish business commuters, to spend the night in Wroclaw Wroclaw was the German-speaking city of Breslau and its Teutonic-Gothic train station was designed by a Prussian architect Poland's borders shifted west and the train station formerly known as Breslau Hauptbahnhof was renamed Wroclaw Glowny – although direct services still run to Berlin on tracks laid by the German Empire more than a century ago I wake up to Wroclaw's whirling snow and reboard the Baltic Express for the third time strolling along the length of the eight-carriage train to gauge the passenger make-up occupied by everyone from Polish grannies to Czech work-from-homers It's the mix anticipated by Jan Hrabáček of Czech national rail operator České Dráhy "We already have a connection from Prague to Budapest and Warsaw," says Hrabáček who helped develop the Baltic Express route "So the idea of the Czech and Polish transport ministers was to connect the quickest possible route from Prague and Wroclaw to the sea." Tourism will be the key summer driver: Czechs used to drive south to Croatia for holidays "Czech people 'found' Poland as a destination because the beaches are great and the weather has become warmer."  The joy of the Baltic Express is that it affords a few hours in destinations one might otherwise overlook, like the Polish spa town of Kłodzko or the medieval city of Leszno. I make my penultimate pitstop in Poznan a Polish cultural capital that has an old town square as pretty as any imagined in a Disney fairytale I start in the square's Military Museum where rakish Napoleonic tunics and dashing air force costumes – Polish soldiers knew how to dress – tell of a darker story Poland has only enjoyed 50 years of independence in the last two centuries due to Austro-Hungarian which makes the safeguarding of the country's culture during difficult times even more impressive It has been reborn as a cultural space and shopping hub near the train station a conductor I met the day before gives me a nod of welcome The Baltic Express is starting to feel like home A chef grills fresh gołąbki (pork-stuffed cabbage leaves) her assistant spoons out pumpkin barley with kale and the waiter decants bottles of Łomża beer The train catering company WARS holds a special place in Polish hearts having catered on international rail routes from Irkutsk to Istanbul since 1948 It's a long way from a British Rail sandwich A fellow diner is marketing consultant Karolina Paszkiewicz "The trains Poland had 10 years ago were slow and cold," she recalls where Paszkiewicz's clients are based used to take nine hours from her hometown of Wroclaw "Today it's four and half," smiles Paszkiewicz "After you've eaten and opened your laptop A whirl of seagulls intimates that we're descending towards the sea The natural port of Gdansk has been Poland's window on the world for seven centuries As a member of the Hanseatic trading league the port city exported goods around the Baltic Sea between Hamburg Visible from our slowing train are handsome wharf houses where beeswax amber and furs could be winched up from passing ships What makes the Baltic Express special is its sense of interconnectedness travelling on tracks laid by Austrians and Germans that offers the freedom to eat Experiential train travel has a new destination CORRECTION: A previous version of this article incorrectly noted that Kłodzko is in the Czech Republic If you liked this story, sign up for The Essential List newsletter – a handpicked selection of features For more Travel stories from the BBC, follow us on Facebook, X and Instagram.

GDYNIA (EuroCup Women) - Basket 90 Gdynia look to have all but sealed a place in the EuroCup Women Regular Season after sinking Spartak Noginsk 95-55 in the first leg of their Qualifiers tie. Turning Point: There wasn't one, since Gdynia started red-hot in the opening quarter as they blasted their way into a commanding 30-9 advantage and coasted to their huge victory. Stats don't lie: It was a miserable shooting night for Spartak Noginsk who didn't make a single three-point attempt in the whole game, while Gdynia got into double-digits for triples made. Game heroes: It was a team performance from the winning side, although Victoria Jankoska, Kahleah Copper and Sofija Aleksandravicius stood out. Janoska top-scored with 22 points, Copper added 19 and Aleksandravicius completed a double-double of 10 points and 10 boards. The bottom line: This was how to make home advantage pay by Gdynia and barring a spectacular collapse on Russian soil, they are set to realize their goal of the Regular Season. As for Noginsk, their capitulation looks like costing them any realistic prospect of advancing. 16 Mar 2025 13:30:00 GMT?.css-1txiau5-AnswerContainer{color:var(--GlobalColorScheme-Text-secondaryText2);}Arka Gdynia won 1–0 over Górnik Łęczna on Sun The current head to head record for the teams are Górnik Łęczna 7 win(s) Have scored 6 goals in their last 5 matches Have kept the most clean sheets in the competition (10) Who won between Górnik Łęczna and Arka Gdynia on Sun 16 Mar 2025 13:30:00 GMT?Arka Gdynia won 1–0 over Górnik Łęczna on Sun 16 Mar 2025 13:30:00 GMT.InsightsHave scored 7 goals in their last 5 matches Górnik Łęczna is playing home against Arka Gdynia on Sun "Race Ranks" are based on the global rankings of the athletes competing in this race, reflecting their positions relative to one another.

On the 20th anniversary of Slovenia's last U20 EuroBasket title finishing the Group Phase as one of just two undefeated squads left in the tournament Slovenia cruised through their games against Montenegro and Iceland while taking care of business in a close contest against Lithuania and in all three games giving the team a much needed level of ball-handling and self-created scoring The 1.85m Guard is an impressive shotmaker who can hit jumpers both off the catch and off-the-dribble while also utilizing his gravity as a shooter to create driving lanes for himself and open shot opportunities for teammates After a tenth-place finish in last year's FIBA U20 EuroBasket finishing the Group Phase undefeated and outscoring their opponents by an average of 33 points Almansa has made an impact for Spain with his versatile scoring profile being able to finish pick-and-roll and transition plays like a traditional big man while also showcasing his ability to drive the ball and hit midrange jumpers One of the most decorated players in the history of FIBA youth tournaments a U19 World Cup and three different MVP awards under his belt Almansa and Spain are looking tremendously difficult to beat and could be up for yet another deep run at Gdynia but ultimately fell in a close game to Greece Much like in last year's gold-medal run at U18 EuroBasket Jovic has been a key for Serbia during the Group Phase finishing as the tournament's second-leading scorer as the Serbian forward is shooting 57.6 percent from the field and 40 percent from three-point range Jovic's efficient scoring and overall versatility will be extremely valuable for Serbia during the next stages of the tournament as they look for their first U20 title in nearly a decade France's bid to win back-to-back U20 EuroBasket titles hit a major bump on the road as the reigning champs dropped their game against Serbia France will now have to face a tough Germany squad in the Round of 16 setting up a Quarter-Finals match-up against either Montenegro or powerhouse Spain as they have one of the most talented squads in the tournament and Noah Penda is in the midst of a breakout campaign at Gdynia The 2.02m forward has made an impact on multiple levels of the floor for France while also contributing with his perimeter shooting and his playmaking for others While Tunca had already been an important piece last year for Türkiye both at the FIBA U19 Basketball World Cup and the U18 EuroBasket the Anadolu Efes guard took a leap this year becoming the true offensive engine of the Turkish team Tunca is a big point guard who utilizes his combination of size length and speed to get to the rim and shoot over smaller defenders The 18 year old is also a creative ball-handler and playmaker for others who can control the tempo of the offense and set up teammates to score Türkiye will have a tough test in the Round of 16 against Lithuania who is currently leading the tournament in points and is second in assists could find himself in the MVP conversation Lithuania's defense is having an incredible tournament holding opponents to just 60 points per game on 30.7 percent from the field The key for Lithuania in this area has been Motiejus Krivas who is leading the tournament in blocks while also ranking in the top five in rebounds The 2.18m center utilizes his massive size not just to wreak havoc on defense but also to impose himself on the offensive end of the floor creating possessions for his team with his offensive rebounding and drawing fouls at a good rate Krivas has been a consistent contributor for Lithuania through his career in FIBA youth competitions and they will rely on his ability to dominate the paint to come out on top against what looks to be a tough Round of 16 match-up against Türkiye Milijasevic's 20-point performance against France was not only instrumental for Serbia to claim first place in Group A it was also proof of how vital Milijasevic's aggressive scoring mentality and tough shotmaking ability are in Serbia's scheme The 1.89m guard is on an absolute tear at Gdynia ranking in the top five in points per game while dishing 3.0 assists per game against just 0.7 turnovers per contest Despite dropping one of their games in the Group Phase Serbia is looking like one of the top teams in the competition and with Milijasevic's offensive firepower they could be one of the teams that reach the definitive stages of the tournament Despite a close loss in the last game of the Group Phase Israel finished atop their group and are keeping the hope of making their sixth-straight Semi-Finals alive The key for Israel has been efficient scoring as they lead the tournament in three-point percentage while ranking in the top three in field goal percentage and Michaeli has been the embodiment of said efficiency averaging 14.3 points per game on 58.6 percent from the field and 44.4 percent from three-point range Michaeli has also been productive as a defender Despite Greece's 1-2 start to the tournament Zougris has seemingly picked up where he left off from last year's tournament where his performance earned him an All-Star Five nod while leading the tournament in rebounds per game The 19-year-old forward has provided Greece with strong screen-setting prolific rebounding and powerful driving and finishing around the basket Coming out of an incredibly tough group that saw them face reigning champions France Greece will head for another tough battle against Israel and they will need Zougris to continue making an impact in order to reach the definitive stages of the tournament Murauskas is averaging a double-double on tremendous offensive efficiency while also posting 3.3 assists against just 1.0 turnover per game The 2.04m Forward has been impactful for Lithuania with his usual versatility utilizing his ball-handling and shooting skills to contribute from the perimeter but also his sheer size and strength to make an impact as a rebounder and interior finisher Luck of the draw has Lithuania in the same side of the bracket as Türkiye If Lithuania can make it to the Semi-Finals they will be one of the most battle-tested teams left standing and definitely one of the candidates to win it all; something that's definitely possible with the dynamic duo of Murauskas and Motiejus Krivas BlackRock and MSC are set to purchase Panama Ports Company from Hong Kong-based Hutchison for $22.8 billion gaining control of 90% of Panama’s key ports has long opposed Chinese ownership due to security concerns over military shipments to Poland and Ukraine.The deal also includes 80% ownership in 43 global ports contributing to Poland’s 3.37 million TEU total raised concerns over Hutchison’s ownership as GCT holds land ownership rights rather than leasing from the government.GCT's proximity to defense cargo operations further heightened scrutiny (pb.pl) Get the best of “Warsaw Business Journal”  delivered to

Webb Poles Bartosz ?mudzi?ski and August Sobczak still reign in the U17 category Second amongst the youths are Frenchmen Alexander Mostini and Raphael Allain today’s wind was the strongest and most consistent out of all the days we’ve been here so it was nice to feel the pressure rising amongst other teams After the second race the wind died down a little so it was difficult to keep up a good position and we unfortunately lost our good streak we definitely learned that Gdynia is  a pretty challenging venue to race in We like it here and we’re looking forward to the final two days of the Championship” – summed up the British Finian Morris and Charlie Gran Alicja Tutkowska and Alicja Dampc still hold first place amongst women with an impressive lead of 45 points over the British team

say that the level of the field is very high which makes it harder for us to gain speed in stronger winds We finished 15th in the first race which was good however that was unfortunately followed by a bad 38th finish In the end we managed to redeem ourselves with a 33rd place so overall it was an okay day for us” said the Italians Three more races are scheduled for Day 7 and 8 where the European

shifty wind so even though the conditions aren’t the easiest we are happy with them In our home city La Baule we have a pretty similar venue The FRA 3425 team managed to win four out of six races conducted today “Our target is to be fast and secure the first position For the moment we don’t have one true rival the person we are competing with most changes every race The real fight with one team will probably begin in the finals,” said the leaders Second place overall belongs currently to an Italian team After managing to secure first places in all three races Alex Demurtas and Giovanni Santi place themselves just two points behind regatta leaders What’s important to note is that the top two teams sail in different fleets and haven’t had the chance to compete directly yet “Today was quite different from yesterday with a big shift in wind direction from west to east This caused some difficulties and changes in our racing but despite that we still managed to keep our top 3 position All of the teams competing here are very strong The top 10 teams are on a very similar level to us which keeps it interesting” – summed up the Italians Polish team Bartosz ?mudzi?ski and August Sobczak are also leaders of the U17 group as they won two races and came in second in the third The conditions were very merciful to all Polish teams which made sailing very difficult for people who are not familiar with it Lucikly for us this is a pretty common wave here so we were prepared and knew exactly how to deal with it” said the team Mix teams category is led by Ewa Lewandowska and
