Illegitimate Oil Transfers Using Fake Flags

The Shadow Fleet is considered one of the older oil tanker fleets operating outside traditional oversight. It employs methods such as disabling automatic identification systems, deceiving tracking sites, and cloning identities to disguise itself. Consequently, it accounts for nearly one-sixth of the world's total oil tankers. This fleet, which is estimated to consist of around 600 ships and makes up 17% of the total fleet, is used to transport oil from sanctioned countries like Russia and Iran in a manner that evades legal scrutiny. This practice carries significant environmental risks, including the potential for massive oil spills and hard-to-trace accidents.
