Thanks! Of course, boats that are following the border to be out of the reporting area seem very sketchy?

Russian and Chinese ships around Greenland today

13/ After passing the English Channel, most boats continue through the Gibraltar Strait, heading for the Suez Channel. However, a few takes the longer route to Asia around Africa, or go directly to customers in Africa and South America, not going through Gibraltar and the Mediterranean Sea.

12/ On the way from Murmansk and Saint Petersburg to the customers in Asia, most of the Russian oil is transported through the English Channel, but some ships from Murmansk takes the trip west of the UK.

Is there a place I can download the list, preferably as csv?

Do you have a watchlist, ships that have not been sanctioned but probably are part of the Russian shadow fleet?

11/ The international waters east of Gothland is often used for ship-to-ship transfer of oil from Ust-Luga and the Saint Peterburg terminal.

What are they doing?

10/ Ust-Luga has been attacked by Ukrainian drones twice in 2025, and is apparently not running on full capacity.

9/ The largest oil terminal is at Ust-Luga, 40 km from the Esonian border. Approximately three times as much oil is shipped from here compared to the terminal in Saint Petersburg.

8/ Most of the shadow fleet tankers that are passing through the narrow strait under the Øresund Bridge between Denmark and Sweden are heading for the oil terminals near Saint Petersburg, Russia.

7/ Apparently many shadow fleet tankers are dropping of the map when getting into Danish waters, citing security concerns. However, some can still be tracked.

Only one shadow fleet tanker registered nearby Tuapse during the attack: Aditya, unknown flag. It was last in port near Istanbul, Turkey. Owned and managed by Centauri Services in Dubai.

December 30, 2025 at 9:43 AM
5/ Eight of the ships are registered under Russian flag, three by Oman, one at Vanuatu and one at the Comoros.
