shadow fleet

The European naval mission Irini, which was supposed to prevent the supply of weapons to Libya, turned out to be unable to stop illegal shipments from Russia.

An incident with a Russian vessel in the Gulf of Finland almost ended in a grounding and fuel spill.

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.

Russia is smuggling weapons and military equipment to Libyan militants using its “shadow fleet” vessels.

On the morning of April 20, an oil spill from the tanker “Alexander Kashchuk” occurred in the sea port of Kholmsk, in the south of the Sakhalin region of the Russian Federation.

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.

Lithuania proposes to target further EU sanctions against Russian liquefied natural gas and “shadow fleet” vessels.

Russia is increasingly transporting oil by Western tankers as oil prices have fallen below the G7 price ceiling.

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.
