In Estonia, a tanker of the "shadow" fleet of the Russian Federation was detained

The detention and investigation conducted in no way related to the damage of critical infrastructure, and the investigation on the vessel will be conducted by the competent authorities," said Komodor Ivo Verk, Navy Commander. The Border Service of Estonia says that during the last year the Gulf in the Gulf has increasingly noticed vessels without documents - which are rightly considered part of the shadow fleet of the Russian Federation.

The detention operation began at three o'clock in the morning. Kiwala was entered the territorial waters of Estonia. The tanker was heading from the port of the juice in India to the port of Ust-Lug in Russia, so there was probably no load. "The ship did not have a flag. It was a ship without a flag. Such ships were actually forbidden to swim. Estonia has used its right to detain the ship to check," - explained the head of the Estonian Border Guard Service, Wiko Commusaar.

During the detention, the Transport Council checks the technical condition and insurance of the vessel, as well as the documents of its participants. During surgery, the helicopter was also involved. There were 24 people on the ship. According to the authorities of Estonia, the captain of the ship from China cooperates with the investigation. The rest of the crew members are obviously Myanmar's citizens. The ship will be detained until technical malfunctions are eliminated.

According to the Ukrainian State Warsanctions Portal, it is a ship of a Russian shadow fleet, which exports Russian cheese oil and petroleum products to the third countries. The owners and managers of the ship were constantly changing to avoid direct connections with Russia and hide real beneficiaries.
