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 sanctioned tanker SEGINUS, IMO 9256028, flagged Cameroon, is drifting in the Arabian Sea.
The sanctioned tanker CINDY, IMO 9270517, is sailing in the Mediterranean Sea under the flag of Equatorial Guinea.
The sanctioned tanker CHIOS, IMO 9231509, is sailing in the Atlantic Ocean under the flag of Cameroon.
The sanctioned tanker KUBERA, IMO 9292577, under the ensign of Sierra Leone, collapses in the Atlantic Ocean.
The sanctioned tanker APPLE, IMO 9271327, is sailing in the Indian Ocean under the flag of Equatorial Guinea.
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.
