A foreign vessel entered the port of Kerch again


A gas tanker under the flag of Tanzania illegally entered the port of occupied Kerch.

The foreign gas carrier Alpha Gas Zanzibar entered the port of Kerch, ignoring the prohibitions. The ship was moored near the gas terminal in the local fishing port,  reports Krym.Realia.

The offending ship flies the flag of Tanzania. However, by 2022, Alpha Gas was registered in Equatorial Guinea.

It will be recalled that on April 9, a ship flying the flag of the Republic of Guinea-Bissau was spotted in Kerch port. Then the russians tried to hide a foreign craft under a tarpaulin.

The occupied Crimean harbors have been closed to international shipping since July 2014. However, when approaching Crimean ports, foreign ships turn off the automatic identification system (AIS). USM previously wrote that russian federation is trying to deceive the GPS receivers using GPS spoofing technology. Thus, the terrorist country hides the real location of ships that enter russian ports despite the sanctions.
