    Ship looks fucked, but the dock itself looks ok? I wonder if they’ll tow the ship out to at least make use of the dock.

      They will. However, they need to ensure that the ship can actually float before they flood the dry dock.

      However, Russia is known for their endless tunnels of bureaucracy. It may take months or years for them to figure out what they want to do with the ship and until then, it’s likely going to stay out.

      On the flip side, if an independent business runs that dock, they are going to move that ship somehow so business can keep going. (However, if there is a financial benefit to having the ship stuck there and the business can charge storage, there is that.)
