Ships without proper insurance will be added to the black lists of the United States, Great Britain and the EU, which even limit the Kremlin’s ability to avoid penalties.
Sweden and Denmark after Germany began requesting insurance documents from tanks passing through their waters in the Baltic Sea, to fight the Russian shadow of the shadow. Foreign policy reports this.
Ships without proper insurance will be added to the black lists of the United States, Great Britain and the EU, who even limit the Kremlin’s ability to miss the penalties in the energy sector and finance the war in Ukraine.
“If we are looking for someone who is a real problem, then these are the ones who do not want to show their documents,” said Kristina Sig, a professor in the Law of the Southern University of Denmark.
The shadow of the Russian Federation’s armada is mainly made up of old tankers with weak -suspicious insurance, the owners of which are often foreign dummies. Such ships swim under other people’s flags and usually avoid pilot services to pass on narrow coastal drawings.
Denmark and Sweden are afraid that sooner or later these tanks will motivate a large -scale oil spill, which will lead to a regional environmental disaster. The problem is also aggravated by suspicions that Moscow uses a shadow fleet for sabotage in the Baltic Sea, especially to cut the cables under water.
As reported, from the beginning of an entire war against Ukraine, the number of vessels in the so-called “shadow fleet” of Russia grew at least three times-from less than 100 tanks in the early 2022 to 300-600 at the beginning of 2025.
