MV Arvin Moment of breaking of the ship (Video)
On 17.01.2021, at 12:35 pm, the research conducted by the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure based on the distress signal received from the Satellite Assisted Search and Rescue System (Cospas-Sarsat system), it was found that the Palau flagged Arvin ship was sunk, and the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure Main Search and Rescue Coordination Center Search and rescue elements were immediately dispatched to the region. Due to adverse weather conditions, the ship anchored in the administrative area of our Bartın Port Authority on 15.01.2020, broke and sank in the area where it was anchored at 12.35 hours on 17.01.2020.

This is the M/V Arvin, a Russian-built ship sailing under a Palau flag registered under "Arvin Sg Ltd". She was anchored at the Black Sea port of Bartin (Turkey) and broke in half while anchored and sank Jan 17, 2021 during rough sea currents. Out of the 13 people on board; 6 were rescued, 4 were killed, 3 remained missing as of the time of the search operation. 11 of the souls on board were Ukrainian, and 2 were Russian. The ship was built in 1975 in Czechoslovakia for the USSR as a dry goods transporter. The ship was designed for mainly for river and lake operations as a barge freighter. She was never designed for rough weather of any sort or the open ocean at all. Despite that fact, she continued to operate in the Black Sea, a region noted for its adverse weather and rough high currents after suffering from over 30 years of poor maintenance and neglect since being sold in 1992 from Russian ownership. These ships are essentially open topped bathtubs with no rigidity, and you can watch them twist and bend just from passing a ship’s wake if they’re unladen. It is not uncommon to see older ones at the end of their service life have several cracks at the deck edge, which will quickly propagate down the hullside if the ship is kept in service. A port state control inspection in Georgia in 2020 found extensive deficiencies on board the Arvin, including severe deck corrosion (softness) and ill-maintained (not functional) weathertight hatches. The Volgo-Balt series of ships were given a restriction on class and were not permitted to sail more than 100 miles from safe haven. The entire merchant marine fleet in the Black Sea is known for the very poor condition of its ships and the inhumanely poor conditions for the sailors. Olga Ananina, the ITF inspector in Novorossiysk, remarked. “Today the bulkers operate under flag of Panama and under control of Orbital Ship Management. All ships are old and problematic. The wage debts, low wage levels not exceeding the ILO rates, lack of provisions, drinking water, working wear, or cleaning materials - all of these are normal for the rust buckets which sink every year claiming seafarers’ lives." The Seafarers’ Union of Russia strongly recommends to shy away from hiring on these ships as they pose a danger to navigational safety and seafarers lives. From 1975-1992 before the ship was renamed to the M/V "Arvin", she was known as the VOLGO-BALT 189. The ship worked for the USSR and then White Sea & Onega. After the USSR decommissioned it, it was sold off and eventually became property of Palau as its final owner after being registered in Malta, Iran, and Cambodia over the next 30 years. Sister ships Volgo Balt 179 (built 1973) and Volgo Balt 214 (built 1978) also broke apart and sank in the years prior to the Arvin (Volgo Balt 189). There are many of these Volgo-Balt vessels, built during Soviet times, that is still in operation under different flags and in different trades across the world.

MV "Arvin" has never been Russian. This is an old (> 40) Soviet-built vessel for operation in inland waters (here you are right) . Belongs to Ukraine, registered in Palau. Ukraine uses this trash for river and coastal navigation. Google helps . Not everyone who speaks English is English, not everyone who speaks Russian is from Russia. Is not it ?

From what I've read of this incident, the ship was not designed for open water in the first place. It was designed to operate primarily in inland rivers. Furthermore, the ship had been badly neglected and was showing significant corrosion damage in major structural members.

It is a shame they didn't make it out, but at least they went down with the ship in the long tradition of heroic sea captains. The other 10 crew members were able to evacuate the ship, and 6 of them were rescued in time. So the sacrifice of the captain and first officer was not entirely in vain.

If I had heard that, I would've assumed he's talking about the engine. Not that his whole fucking ship broke in half.
This has happened to so many ships on the Great Lakes. To see it breaking in half is tragic but it’s interesting to see it actually happening on video. Stories of ore/coal ships breaking in half and sinking in less than just 10-20 minutes were commonplace several decades ago. Sadly the shipping companies that owned the ships would always claim that “it sank because the crew was negligent”. One ship was said to have buckled and broken in half but the stern of the ship (the back) with all lights still on and engine still running normally continued going for a couple miles before the lights went out and it “disappeared”. The bow of the ship (front) sank soon after the disaster. The survivor who told his story was called a liar and sued but lost due to the lack of evidence. Decades later in more recent times they sent down a drone and found that the ship did in fact break in half and that the stern continued going for 5 miles before sinking.

like the Edmond Fitzgerald. Had she been designed NOT like this ship but a true salty, she would have stayed afloat. Unfortunately, her cargo holds, watertight covers, and hold latches were not designed to take on and sheath the amount of water that was splashing over her main deck. I would think this video is very much how 'Fitz' went down in Lake Superior. Oddly, I don't think there is been a sinking of a major commercial ship in the great lakes since then. Maybe due to the changes in maritime operations that were made as a result.

Unfortunately I don't think it matters how much of a "mettle" you have. If you're trapped below decks, there's not much you can do unless you're in the part of the ship where you can somehow get out. And if you're not in a position of power, complaining about the ship not being good for these conditions could probably get you ostracized at best, fired at worst.

Starting as the Volgo-Balt 189, the MV Arvin was originally built in 1974 in Czechoslovakia as a lake/river freighter. She was sold and reflagged several times through her life. She was named Arvin in 1997 by the Delphin Maritime Co. Ltd., the name she kept for the rest of her career.[1] The Volgo-Balt class were lake/river freighters, meant to sail within generally calm water, and were not intended for the high seas. Nevertheless, many of them have seen use on and around the Black Sea. Several of these have sunk, including the Volgo-Balt 214, lost in 2019, killing six of 13 crew.[3] Two months after the Arvin sank, Volgo-Balt 179 sank in the Black Sea, with 10 of 13 crew surviving.[4] In 2020, port officials in Georgia noted severe deck corrosion and poorly maintained weather hatches on the Arvin, suggesting that the ship should be scrapped.[5] Her owner kept her at sea, though. She was due for a major audit in April 2021.[6]

Correct. At least 5 of these old _Volgo Balt_ types have gone down in the Black Sea in the past decade. 12 months prior to this one, Volgo Balt 179 snapped in half 70 miles off the coast of Romania, only 2 survivors from a crew of 12.
i went to a Maritine Academy, and chose Shoreside. This is exactly why, my bones shake for these mariners, and many of my fellow classmates who i’m sure have seen this and or been through it.
I have been on a sinking boat issuing a mayday call. With waters below freezing I had about 15-45 minutes that I could survive in the water, rescue came at 30 minutes. One of the guys who rescued me took off his own (warm) shirt and put on me, I was trembling too much to do it myself, so he actually had to dress me! I never got his name, coast guard got there and took me away, but to this day, 15 years later, I still have that shirt. There's some kind of maritime law that says you have to respond to mayday calls, but I prefer to think we all feel a moral obligation to do so. Being a person who has been rescued from certain death, I feel like I would definitely risk my own life to rescue someone else if the need ever arises. Edit - I am not changing the wording above. When I posted this it was just to tell people about a near-death experience I've had in my life. People who have been through something similar seem to have an appreciation for life as we have seen how fragile it is, as well as a deep respect for those who perform a rescue. I didn't think it would become a topic of semantics, where my phrase "waters below freezing" would call into question the scientific fact that water freezes at a certain temperature therefore if it is below freezing it is ice and no longer water. My statement would be best changed to state "waters near freezing", changing the word below to near. Let's just leave it as it is and each reader can take away from it what they choose. I must say though that some of these comments make my blood boil! (Hahaha, see what I did there, open a whole new can of worms)

No one died, and if they did that close to land then it’s just natural selection.
Back in 99/00 a freighter called the new cerisa beached itself on one of the worst part of our shoreline Coos County, Oregon. There was no saving it.. so they decided to blow it up and tow the sections out to sea. It didn't go quite as planned and they couldn't get it to sink. They finally shot enough holes in it and the majority of it was sunk. I think the wheelhouse section remained until the ocean took it back. It's crazy how hard they are to sink on purpose but how easy nature can take one down.

This is the M/V Arvin, a Russian-built ship sailing under a Palau flag registered under "Arvin Sg Ltd". She was anchored at the Black Sea port of Bartin (Turkey) and broke in half while anchored and sank Jan 17, 2021 during rough sea currents. Out of the 13 people on board; 6 were rescued, 4 were killed, 3 remained missing as of the time of the search operation. 11 of the souls on board were Ukrainian, and 2 were Russian.
Man what a scary thing to witness from just a video where I'm safe and warm at home, I couldn't imagine the terror the people on board must have felt. I have a lot of respect for those who work on the oceans, but im terrified of the thought of being out to sea where you cant see the land.

It looks calm from the bridge. But for the sailors below deck, when the ship snapped in half the water ingress into the narrow passage ways would have been intense and over powering. Anyone near the break or with an unsecured door would have been blasted by wind and water pressure blowing through the ship. The sinking takes place in slow time, the poor souls who did not make it out would have been knocked out or drowned in the initial ingress of pressurized water. Assuming the ship's keel was 15ft - 20ft underwater when it snapped, the water pressure 20 feet down would blast into the ship with a great deal of force. Calm on the bridge, trauma below decks.

Context: MV Arvin, this is the moment the Ukrainian bulk cargo ship broke in two in heavy seas off the coast of Bartin, Turkey in 2021. Of the 12 crew members, six survived whilst of the six dead, only three bodies were ever recovered. The cargo ship was built in 1974 as a lake/river freighter which means she was intended to sail within generally calm waters and not intended for the high-seas. Two other ships of the same class also met similar ends in 2019 (six lost) and two months after this, the Volgo-Bait 179 with 10 of the 13 crew surviving. A year before this sinking a port official in Georgia noted severe deck corrosion and poorly maintained weather hatches, suggesting that the MV Arvin should be scrapped. Her owners kept her at sea with these obvious results.

"My wessel broken" sounds a bit too vague for an emergency call.
According to Vesselfinder, MV Arvin was built in 1975. That's 46 years ago. It's very old, even for a freighter: average lifespan for a ship of this category is around 25 years. And a ship of this generation was most likely single hulled (the infamous MV Erika tanker was made the same year and was a single hull design)...which doesn't help especially when the ship is a rust bucket. Unfortunately 7 of the crew were killed or are missing :(

MV Arvin was a bulk cargo ship that broke in two and sank in heavy seas off the coast of Bartin, Turkey, in 2021. A video of the ship breaking apart was posted on KZread.[2] Six of the 12 crew aboard died in the sinking.
I can feel the terror of those that were on board of this vessel. Dealing with heavy weather is terrifying on any ship, and exponentially so if you get into an accident. I wonder though, whether going for anchor was the best move for these circumstances. Heaving to might have reduced the bending moment on the ship, and looking at the stability calculations, the ship would have had plenty of stability to survive the roll moments induced by those waves. Unfortunate that I cannot find any reporting to corroborate my suspicions.
This has got to be one of the biggest "Oh Shit!" moments of all time. Hey everyone we're going swimming whether we want to or not!

No abandon ship alarm.
It’s called “Sagging” which is when the stress a ship's hull or keel is placed under when a wave is the same length as the ship and the ship is in the trough (the lowest part of two waves), This causes the middle of the ship to bend down slightly, and depending on the level of bend, may cause the hull to snap or crack.

And it is also why the other ships seen in the distance have heave-to. This is totally on the captain.

The Christian God is the True God and I am going to prove it right now: God has a Law called the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20). These Laws include do not lie, do not steal, don’t put others gods before Him (Exodus 20) Have you ever broken any of these Laws? Have you ever told a lie? Have you ever stolen anything? Have you ever lusted after someone? If we really went over God’s Laws in the Bible, every single one of them, it can really expose how much of a sinner we truly are and because we have all committed these acts our punishment is Hell because God’s standard is perfection. Our good works cannot get us into Heaven. That’s like you steal a soda from the store but you tell the judge, “hey judge I give to the orphanage, I do community service.” The judge will not care about what you did. You stole something that was not yours so therefore the Judge is going to find you guilty. God is the same way. But, this Judge is a loving Judge who does not want to sentence you for your crimes. He sent His Son Jesus Christ to come and take the punishment for your sins and if you Repent of your sins and accept jesus Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior then you will be saved from the sentence. Jesus loves you and is not willing that any should perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16) God bless
