UK might board shadow fleet tankers. However, just making passage through the English Channel or the Gibraltar Strait (also controlled by the UK) more difficult by lengthy inspections of cargo and insurance documents, could also be effective in cutting off supplies.

Four oil tankers attacked by drones today outside Novorossiysk have been added to the shadow fleet database. (Blue= sanctioned boats; Yellow = recently visited Russian oil terminal; Red=attacked by Ukraine). Map provided by: fleetleaks.com

Trump claims that Greenland is surrounded by Chinese and Russian ships but it seems like Norway need protection more...

Pacific Moon is one of the newly added sketchy boats. It is not sanctioned by the EU. Itis currently anchored outside Ust-Luga, a Russian oil terminal in the Baltic Sea. Recent ports include Xiuyu in China. It is owned and managed by companies located in Gurugram, India.

I have included tankers from sketchy.boats in the map and changed the legend.

Blue: Sanctioned by the EU; Red: Have been attacked by Ukraine; Grey: Boats registered in Russia; Orange: Sketchy Boats that are not in any of the categories above.

1/ A thread about points of interest along the routes of the Russian shadow fleet; places where there will normally be a large number of ships, or straits they pass at low speed.

Blue: EU sanctioned; Orange: Recently visited Russian ports; Red: Bombed by Ukraine; Pink: My wathchlist

No shadow fleet tankers registered around the port in Temryuk which was attacked by Ukraine yesterday, but quite a a few in the Kerch Strait.

The main route of the Russian shadow fleet goes through the Suez canal.

Quite a few shadows around Instanbul. Blue=Sanctioned by the EU. Orange=Suspected shadows. Red=Have been attacked by Ukraine.
