The ship “Sunny Liger” sailing under the flag of the Marshall Islands cannot dock in the port of Amsterdam. Because of the shipment coming from Russia, his employees object to it. The tanker can no longer stop in Sweden. In this case, the employees also refused the service.
On Friday, Foreign Minister Woebke Hoekstra said the government could not refuse to keep the ship in Dutch ports because it did not fly the Russian flag.

But it turned out that due to the refusal of the port employees in Amsterdam, the tanker could not dock there. The FNV Havens union called on its members not to tow the ship into port.
Ole Nikolenko, a spokesman for Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry, made a similar appeal on Saturday. “We urge the Dutch government to get the tanker to leave immediately,” Nikolenko wrote on Twitter.
On Friday, unionists from the port of Rotterdam refused to dock the Sunny Liger. According to the NU portal, the cause was controversial shipping and solidarity with Swedish port ships. According to media reports, it was not the Swedish authorities who refused to accept the ship, but the Swedish port workers.
