The "shadow fleet" of the Russian Federation regularly refueling from the Latvian tanker near the Gotland Island - the media

Journalists analyzed 56 Zircone tanker refueling operations that have taken place in the last two months. The "shadow" vessels that transport the pod -Russian oil are regularly refueling from the tanker, which is at an anchor near the Swedish Island of Gotland and owns a company from Latvia. About it reports SVT. Investigators found that near the border of Sweden, the Zircone oil tanker has been standing near Sweden's border. He has Cyprus registration. The ship is approached.

Journalists analyzed 56 operations of refueling from this tanker that took place in the last two months. In 52 cases, the vessel headed from or to Russia was discussed. In most cases, these are ships of the so -called "shadow fleet" that go without insurance. According to journalists, the Swedish authorities have long paid attention to the tanker. The border guards are closely watching him.

In 2023, the coast guard initiated a pre -trial investigation, given that the company did not receive permission from the Swedish transport agency. It was subsequently closed and the fastbunkering was granted the corresponding permission. The Latvian company Fastbunkering manages Tanker Zircone's activities. Her CEO is Alexei Volkov. The team on board is allegedly Russians. He explained in a comment request that the ship was near Gotland.

This was supposedly the interest of clients, and on the safety of refueling in the sea noted that the ship has all the necessary licenses. The team is taught to respond to potential emergencies that may arise. We will remind, on January 10 the Bloomberg agency reported that the UAE was banned from the movement of vessels under the flag of the Cameroon through the shadow fleet of Russia and its oil.
