Caucasus-Poti ferryboat has been paralyzed. Arsen Ghazaryan, chairman
of the Union of Industrialists and Businessmen, blamed the Russian
bureaucracy saying the ferry does not have any problems at Georgian
port but Russia does not grant entry on different grounds.

"They say the ferry does not comply with standards and is not ready
for float," A. Ghazaryan said. In his words, Upper Lars is being
repeated again and Russia tries to force the ferry to work with this
or that company or wants to gain shares. Ghazaryan says the ferry
owner largely suffers damages saying the owner is paying 15 employees
every day. "He really undergoes damages," the chairman said.
