You have to sign up for a free account to get the good data. It’s actually not a bad sub for Marine Traffic, Lloyd’s, Seaweb, etc. It has all ships not just fishing ships, and it has satellite not just terrestrial data.
How to search effectively gets a bit of getting used to.
Kinda? The Finns seized a Russian dark fleet vessel with their military and if I remember correctly held her for several days.
There is a LOT of discussion about “safe passage” going on in the EU right now regarding this kind of ship. They are very dangerous because they have no P&I insurance if they have a spill (and you bet your ass they are not maintained to any remotely reasonable standard).
Again, I am not personally in favor of this stuff. Dangerous and irresponsible in multiple ways.
This comment is meant in no way whatsoever to justify this seizure.
That tanker has been dark fleet since at least 2022, and she’s been actively and obviously spoofing since then, e.g., more or less daring the Americas to sanction her, although in a normal world it should have been OFAC doing the sanctioning, not armed marines seizing the ship and cargo.
(Not that I think the sanctions, as they are now constituted, are necessary justified either.)
Anyone have a non AMP link?
My fellow Europeans, fight! Keep fighting until we drive them back to their basements!
Looks at Brent over the last 24 months, looks at massive oil tankers offshore everywhere with unsold crude.
Yep, 'bout that time.
