That is what some say the video shows.  I have to say that the video is
of such poor quality and of such a short duration that it is unclear
whether or not that explanation is true.  There are many more people
standing around on that vessel than would be needed to remove a single
mine.  It is difficult to impossible to see what they are doing.  That
video could just as likely be a life boat removing personnel from the
tanker.  I don't know and the video does not convince me of any
explanation.  What is needed is some further context, e.g. where was
that boat 30 seconds before and after the short video.  Where ever that
video came from, I doubt that the very short snippet published is all
that there was.
