shadow fleet

Norway has introduced a new package of sanctions against Russia, which came into force on June 27.

Experts emphasize that the growth of the so-called “shadow fleet” of Russia is accompanied by numerous negative risks for the region.

The sanctioned vessel has changed its name, flag and owner — and continues to operate, despite promises to strengthen monitoring of the shadow fleet.

For the first time, specific individuals who control vessels that help circumvent oil sanctions will be included in the list of restrictions.

A Russian warship disguised itself using a fake AIS while passing through the English Channel with two sanctioned tankers.

The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe demands the introduction of additional control over maritime transport to combat the Russian “shadow fleet”.

Russia is using electronic warfare to conceal the real routes of tankers and the volume of oil exports, experts warn.

The Russian Navy has been deployed to protect sanctions-busting vessels, with experts viewing this as a test of the West’s response.

Employees of the Danish state pilotage service DanPilot are helping Russian tankers pass through the straits between the North and Baltic Seas.

EU countries and partners plan joint actions to counter sanctions circumvention schemes and strengthen control at sea.
