A new edition of our weekly monitoring of dangerous shadow fleet tanker voyages
Several sanctioned tankers have been recorded in various regions, the movement of which has created a threat of environmental disaster.
The Russian sanctioned tanker NEVSKIY PROSPECT, IMO 9256054, is sailing in the Atlantic Ocean, heading towards Gibraltar.
The sanctioned tanker WHITE CONDOR I, IMO 9255244, flagged Cameroon, is heading towards the English Channel.
The sanctioned tanker CINDY, IMO 9270517, is sailing in the Bay of Biscay under the flag of Equatorial Guinea.
The sanctioned tanker C VIKING, IMO 9261657, is sailing in the Atlantic Ocean under the flag of Sierra Leone.
The sanctioned tanker FEI YUN HE, IMO 9263198, is sailing in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Morocco under the flag of Cameroon.
All of these tankers are very old (built in 2003-2006) and operate without insurance. They often turn off their navigation systems to avoid detection by law enforcement agencies. There is a risk of oil spills.
