Russian Oil Tanker Challenges Shadow Fleet
The journey of the oil tanker "Invícta," which was headed from the Russian port of Primorsk to the Suez Canal and paused off the coasts of North Africa, represents a new challenge to European measures against the Russian shadow fleet. The tanker, carrying approximately 711,000 barrels of Russian oil, followed a long and indirect route, bypassing direct passages and avoiding the English Channel in an attempt to pass through surveillance and inspection measures that have intensified as efforts to control Russian oil exports have deteriorated. This voyage adds to a pattern filled with risks and European challenges in monitoring and pursuing Russian oil tankers outside traditional routes, amid ongoing escalation of difficulties in enforcing sanctions on the shadow fleet.
