🚢🔥 2026: Tanker War II is upon us Since the start of 2026, global tensions involving tankers have accelerated. No longer mere commercial carriers, they've become strategic assets embedded in hybrid warfare. Tomorrow: we analyze the latest developments in the Baltic, Black Sea and the Atlantic. 🐙

🚨🇷🇺🔥 QENDIL... is heading back north since this morning She may be reaching for her declared desination of Aliaga 🇹🇷. Probably to be repaired after the Ukrainian drone swarm attack. Authorization finally obtained from Turkey? If so, it will be paid in cash...

🚨🇷🇺🔥 QENDIL's route is no longer coherent with declared destination Aliaga 🇹🇷 Update : 🔸️ Putin confirmed death of Gen. Averyanov in the 🇺🇦 drone attack 🔸️ Spotted by radar on Dec-20 next to IBLEA (other shadow tanker... nice coincidence 👻) 🔸️ In the night of Dec-20-21, shows an erratic route: breakdown?

🚨🇷🇺🇫🇷 According to a new CNN investigation, two Russian mercenaries were on board the BORACAY (IMO 9332810) during its boarding off the French coast. 🧵

🔎🇷🇺⛽️ Change in behaviour of Russian shadow fleet tankers: the beginning of a downgraded mode? Since the start of what could be described as the "Tanker War II", a clear change has been observed in the navigation habits of Russian tankers belonging to the shadow fleet. 🧵

A new tanker in🇷🇺Russia’s shadow fleet, the MT DASHAN (IMO 9299666), was attacked in the Black Sea by🇺🇦Ukrainian Sea Baby naval drones. She reportedly sustained critical damage, putting her out of service.

Something is going on with false flagged vessel “CHARIOT TIDE”. Currently at anchor in German EEZ en route to Baltic. First false Gambia flagged. Now false Mozambique. New false certificate found on a “marinegov”-group website.

🚨⚓️Update on FONDEYA's position Reappeared 2 days and 15 hours later. During this time, it had time to: 🔸 Make a detour to Japan 🇯🇵🍣🌸🍙 🔸 And calmly cross the English Channel. ⚠️ FONDEYA USED AIS SPOOFING TO CROSS THE ENGLISH CHANNEL. ⚠️

the game of flag governance whack-a-mole continues. Gambia's government follows Comoros in cleaning up the mess left by private contractors running their ship registries.

🚨🇸🇳🇹🇷🇷🇺 The Turkish shipowner — the official owner of the Mersin tanker from the Russian shadow fleet, recently hit off the coast of Senegal — has announced the end of its partnership with Russia. After four tankers have been struck, the Tanker War is now showing its first effects: 🧵

⚓️ In the NAME & SHAME a tanker from the Russian Shadow Fleet category 🇷🇺 : After the RUNA who changed her flag just before entering French waters 🇫🇷, the FONDEYA 🇸🇱 (IMO 9388742) adopted another, more radical strategy: she simply switched off its AIS 🫣

Au détour de la lecture d’un échange sur l’autre réseau (X), je me suis intéressé aux "incidents" ayant eu dernièrement lieu en Europe. Les incidents par exemple qui sont suspectés de participer à la "guerre hybride" ou des opérations de déstabilisation de l’opinion. (1/6)

The 🇷🇺Russian oil tanker MIDVOLGA-2, carrying sunflower oil to 🇬🇪Georgia, was attacked 80 miles off the 🇹🇷Turkish coast in the Black Sea.

🚨⚓️ We previously reported on the RUNA (IMO 9314882), a Russian 🇷🇺 shadow-fleet tanker operating under a false Benin flag 🇧🇯. 24 hrs ago, she abruptly switched its flag (now Cameroon 🇨🇲) and changed its MMSI before entering French waters. She is currently off the coast of Brittany. The evidence 🧵

🔎 Since July, the oil tanker LEO II has been circling aimlessly off the coast of Cyprus 🇨🇾. Commercial delay? Technical issue? Neither: she’s playing a key role in bypassing sanctions on Russian oil 🇷🇺, all while appearing to stand still. Let’s break it down 🧵

Last bit of research regarding Gambia and Sierra Leone becoming the major supplier of flag state status for the shadow fleet. Gambia's hockey stick is accelerating at worrying pace. Data credit: I pulled all MMSIs broadcasting Gambia and Sierra Leone from the awesome @globalfishingwatch.org API

The "pivot to The Gambia" of the shadow fleet is increasing day by day. But also "pivot to Sierra Leone". Initially, I thought this was "just" another case of false flagging, unbeknown to the registry. But something in common about both these nations, causes me to think, that it's not the case.
