On July 29 a Ukrainian cargo ship called Accord was detained by the
Georgian coast guard.
According to Russian news agency Interfax the Georgian police said
the vessel had been in the Abkhazian waters - which is a forbidden
zone for shipping.
The Captain has been charged with violation of navigation rules and
penetration into the forbidden zone.
The vessel was loaded with wheat meant to be shipped to Armenia. It
has been escorted into the port of Poti and it is berthed now.
Border police do not rule out that the ship can be confiscated and
sold at auction if the captain is proved guilty.
Also the captain may be fined as another option.
