Estonia

The oil tanker Green Admire, which was heading from the Estonian port of Sillamäe to Rotterdam, was detained by Russia in the Baltic Sea. Estonia informed NATO allies about the incident.

The incident with the Jaguar tanker has shown that the Russian military is ready to protect the “shadow fleet.”

Estonian military prevented a possible threat to underwater infrastructure by removing the vessel from a potentially dangerous area.

The head of the Estonian Foreign Ministry said that the country will coordinate actions more closely with partners for the safety of maritime infrastructure and environmental protection.

Estonian authorities are demanding that technical deficiencies be corrected and insurance checks be carried out before allowing the vessel to continue its voyage.

The President of Estonia has approved relevant amendments to the laws on the organization of the country’s Defense Forces, which allow the military to sink suspicious vessels.

Estonian transport authorities have found about 40 violations on the Kiwala tanker, which has been detained in the Gulf of Finland without a flag of any country.

A major Estonian businessman, Tiit Vähi, and a number of Estonian shareholders have completely bought out the port of Sillamäe from its Russian partners.

Estonia has detained the oil tanker Kiwala. The vessel is currently east of Aegna Island, with two warships nearby.

The Estonian Navy needs larger ships that can provide better seaworthiness than the current vessels.
