The article focused on the European Union's escalation of measures against the Russian "Shadow Fleet" through a inspection operation of the oil tanker "Tua Bayou," which is listed on European sanctions. The inspection took place while the vessel was sailing from Benin to Istanbul west of Pantelleria, Sicily. The operation was led by the EU, and during the inspection, the tanker changed its flag to Cameroon in an attempt to evade sanctions, prompting Italian maritime authorities to verify the legality of the registration. The ship was not detained, but the documents collected could be used later for legal proceedings. The operation lasted two hours and involved naval teams from Italy, Greece, and Poland, as part of a broader campaign to monitor ships suspected of transporting Russian oil and bypassing Moscow's export restrictions since the start of the war in Ukraine.
