shadow fleet

Canberra has lowered the price ceiling for Russian oil to $47.60 per barrel and added 95 more ships to the sanctions list.

The document provides for measures against the “shadow fleet”, adjustment of the price ceiling for oil, secondary sanctions and port restrictions.

Tankers of the so-called “shadow fleet” are beginning to accumulate in the Gulf of Finland, which were heading to load at the Russian port of Primorsk. As a reminder, the port was attacked by Ukrainian UAVs on September 12.

Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski has called on the EU to find a coordinated approach against the Russian “shadow fleet” in the Baltic Sea.

Britain has imposed new sanctions against Russia, targeting its shadow oil fleet and suppliers of military technology.

The restrictions should apply not only to Russian companies, but also to oil refineries in third countries, traders and intermediaries.

The new 19th package of EU sanctions will likely include tankers of the Russian “shadow fleet”, insurers and flag registries.

In the port of Murmansk, due to complaints from Russian sailors, the tanker Unity under the flag of Lesotho, which is part of the so-called “shadow fleet” of Russia, was detained.

Washington is also considering sanctions against two Russian oil giants to cut Moscow’s energy revenues.

Switzerland has introduced new sanctions against Russia, synchronizing the 18th package of EU sanctions.
