Russia: State fisheries agency files claim for $800m in damages from Norilsk Nickel over 2020 diesel spill

"Russian Fisheries Agency Seeks Damages From Metallurgical Giant For Arctic Fuel Spill", 29 July 2021

Russia's state fisheries agency has filed a claim for 58.7 billion rubles in damages, or about $800 million, from the Russian firm Nornickel over an Arctic fuel spill in 2020.

The state fisheries agency Rosrybolovstvo filed the claim against Nornickel, which has already paid $2 billion for environmental damage caused by the leak of 21,000 tons of diesel fuel at its power plant in Norilsk in May 2020.

...A Rosrybolovstvo statement quoted by Reuters on July 29 put the cost of work to restore aquatic bioresources at more than 55 billion rubles ($750 million) and estimated direct damage caused by the death of fish at 3.6 billion rubles ($49 million).

Nornickel, the world's leading nickel and palladium producer, said the agency’s estimates were “overstated” and it would challenge Rosrybolovstvo's claim for damages and the methodology used to calculate the amounts in court.
