The 'Volgo Balt 227', an anchored vessel at Poti Port, was permitted to resume its voyage on October 11 after its captain settled a hefty fine with Georgia's Border Police Coast Guard. The penalty was imposed due to the ship's involvement in a marine pollution incident that raised environmental concerns. The captain faced a financial penalty of 65,000 Georgian laris, in addition to court-mandated compensation for environmental damage amounting to 922 laris. Following the payment of these fines, the ship was cleared for free navigation, allowing it to continue its maritime operations.
