Doubts and confusion surround the presumed PDVSA emergency declaration to operate and avoid seizures of ships due to lack of crewBy: Aporrea | Thursday, 03/07/2019 03:19 PM
translated from Spanish
"PDV Marina is a subsidiary of PDVSA that continues to work with the company BSM ... PDV Marina offers maritime and fluvial transportation of hydrocarbons, as well as the provision of tugboat service, reaching satisfactory daily days," said PDVSA.
The denial comes after Reuters and the newspaper El Universal revealed, based on an internal memo from PDVSA, that PDV Marina declared a "maritime emergency" after the shipping company BSM announced plans to abandon 10 PDVSA tankers, due to the lack of payment of the state.
According to the memorandum, "if you do not have the necessary personnel, operations will be affected to meet international commitments and there is a risk of the forced occupation of some vessels"
The document shows the need for personnel to keep the units involved operational, stating that each vessel requires a crew of 16 people, and that the number of vessels affected is ten, for which a total of 160 people are required.
On February 23, the crew of the Venezuelan oil tanker El Río Arauca, which has been detained in the middle of the Tagus River in Lisbon for almost two years due to unpaid debt, was forced to abandon the ship, the managers told Reuters. of BSM.
According to BSM, PDVSA owes you $ 15 million.

(285 posts)I've checked ChavezTV several times today and have seen nothing about the man. Reading Naky's piece today at CC, it seems that yesterday's cadena from Bolivar state, which ran right up to the time that Hair's show was supposed to begin, was actually recorded earlier in the day.

(2,412 posts)Los Tios are having a hell of a time getting through to their connections. Internet is spotty in Valencia and Maracay. But some emails are getting through. Tongues are wagging. If anything, I think the Chavista dome is getting a proper "dressing down" by their Cuban masters and will come out tomorrow reinvigorated by the Revolution. They will be required to double down on the stupid (arrests, violence courtesy of the GNB, colectivos) before Saturday. Don't expect to have electricity or internet for very long... It is their playbook.
In the above story... I noticed that the ships were being abandoned for not payment of the paltry sum of $15 million dollars.
$15 million? Maria Gabriela has that much in her back pocket!

(285 posts)It's usually reasonably reliable because we're hooked into a PDVSA substation on the national highway about 10 clicks from here. Today though there have been some power surges that aren't normal, loss of internet, and now, cable TV along with Chavez TV are off-line. My woman is afraid that one of the power surges damaged one of our freezers. I hope not, it's almost impossible to find the parts you need to repair shit these days.
