No suprise. Great to have it official. Great work @pa.nton.cx ! What will happen when the #Agate returns from Russia? #shadowfleet #oilfuelswar

Trump wants to provide "the most vulnerable nations" with cheaper fuel. How nice of him. Russia's #shadowfleet seems to be unaware of this purpose. See map. India - ok, vulnerable. China? Not much oil / fuel going to Africa or SE Asia.... Wonder if he really got the 4 animals right....

Worth a read - German navy officers association about increased presence of the Russian navy in the Western Baltic, like the destroyer #Severomorsk. #shadowfleet #oilfuelswar marineforum.online/russischer-z...

The #Agate (IMO 9310707)changed to Guyana from Cameroon - now labelled Cameroon False in the IMO database #GISIS. Cameroon used to be the latest go-to-place for #shadowfleet tankers. Since mid April, 7 tankers left that register again. Cameroon's promised register cleanup seems to show effect. 👏

🚨 AGATE just switched to a confirmed false flag: Guyana. Man the longboats, Sweden!

The #JinHui had recently changed its flag to Syria. Syria does not have any international ships register. Good decision by Sweden. 👍

#shadowfleet #SeaOwl1

⚠️We just got confirmation from Cameroon's authorities, that the #SeaOwl1 is NOT registered in Cameroon. That is, their signaled flag change to this country is fake and Sweden authorities should act accordingly. #falseflag #shadowfleet

Sweden's #Transportstyrelsen now confirmed that they actually are still checking the validity of #SeaOwl1 's flag change to Cameroon, too. It would certainly help, if Cameroon could provide a white list of vessels that legitimately registered before the Feb 6 ban. @tv4.bsky.social #shadowfleet

Still no final answer from Cameroon's authorities, but they share my doubts. To be continued.... #shadowfleet #oilfuelswar

Long overdue:

Russia seems increasingly stressed about its oil exports. As media reported yesterday, two Russian combat vessels moved to German waters west of Fehmarn, supposedly to protect the #shadowfleet. NATO responded by sending the #SNMG1 led by frigate #Sachsen. #oilfuelswar www.n-tv.de/politik/Russ...

Identity theft? While we are waiting.... #SeaOwl1 now app. transmits the call sign TJM23G, acc. to #MarineTraffic. To IMO's #GISIS the vessel's call sign is unknown. TJM23G #GISIS links to the Cameroon flagged oil tanker #KingChain (9277761). Another reason not to hurry with the tanker's release.

Seems my suspicion has some grounds. Stay tuned, may know more later today or tomorrow. Swedens #Transportstyrelsen should certainly not release #SeaOwl1 just now.

UPD: Acc. to TV4, Swedish authorities got #SeaOwl1's flag change confirmed by Cameroonian authorities. Something odd is going on here....see thread. www.tv4.se/artikel/2LoB... #shadowfleet #oilfuelswar

⚠️ #SeaOwl1 (IMO 9321172), held in custody by Swedish authorities since Mar 12, for flying a false flag of the Comoros, has just changed flag status in its AIS signal to Cameroon. Cameroon had issued a ban of accepting new registries into its int. ship register on Feb 6. (1/2) #shadowfleet

Is it TV4 or SE authorities that are profundly confused? "We have no confirmation that it was a false flag, says ....Swedish Transport Agency." Do you have a confirmation that it is valid? Hope STA doesn't mind the question, but....Syria has no int. ship register! www.tv4.se/artikel/2ogh...

A hard slap in the face for the German coast guard. Ok, they recently kept a friend of mine from having himself shot off Putlos (thanks here to the Baumholder crew)....but hey, there IS more that you can do. #shadowfleet #oilfuelswar #pistorius #kanzlermerz

Sweden detained another #shadowfleet tanker, the #JinHui. Am curious to see how this unfolds. The oil tanker has just been found with major deficiencies, through a PSC in Turkey (Apr 13). A tanker with propulsion engine & fire safety issues is not what you want to see sailing in the Baltic.

The #StraitofHormuz and the #DanishStraits have something in common. Critical for oil shipments. politiken.dk/debat/debati...

In international waters. On what grounds?

#Osint Intense naval military/rescue activity between #Denmark and #Norway. #SAR

test

The #Zambra (IMO: 9175078) bored and ready to explore uncharted territory? Or drawn into the Swedish force-field? So many questions. #shadowfleet #oilfuelswar @pa.nton.cx @auonsson.bsky.social

Sanctioned #shadowfleet tanker #Aura1 (IMO 9472634 ) seems to be determined to test the determination of the Swedes. Position as of now. A bit late turn south.

Tanker laden with Russian oil continue to take the longer route south of Bornholm today. Still none daring to take the 'Swedish route'. What is Swedish Coast Guard #Kustbevakningen broadcasting to scare that fleet so much? #shadowfleet

A stark wake-up call to German authorities! Three #shadowfleet tankers on a detour to avoid SE waters. Not seeing any risk in even entering DE territorial waters (12nm zone, s. #Dinasty's track) #Merz & #Pistorius must finally stand with SE to reduce this risk to the Baltic from these vessels.

That's true dedication to the Russian cause! (one for the true nerds amongst us) Sanctioned by CH, Aus, Canada, UK and the EU - Respect! #shadowfleet

Die Zeit picked up our press release on the #shadowfleets downturn in the Baltic, following the attacks on #Primorsk and #Ust-Luga. They asked the German 'Coast Guard' for a statement and got this reply: "We do not hold any information on this matter" I find no words. www.zeit.de/news/2026-04...

Two weeks ago, the #Maridive701 was involved in securing the #ArcticMetagaz. Position since Sunday suggest it's on it again. There seem to be no other offshore vessels in the area. Distance just 40nm from Benghazi now. #shadowfleet #oilfuelswar #renewables

Another #Flag to chose from ? maritime-executive.com/article/soma... @pa.nton.cx @auonsson.bsky.social @maritimekiwi.bsky.social

Sanctioned #shadowfleet tanker #Flora1 boarded by Swedish coast guard, suspected to have caused a 12km long oil spill. Doubts also about its Sierra Leone flag. Now at anchor off Ystad.

First tankers are even leaving the Leningrad area in ballast > #Fidan or only partially laden > #Beast. Both signalling RUMMR as destination? Murmansk? Ust-Luga still with no tankers, Primorsk only two. Incl. a Greek flagged crude oil tanker #OlympicFlag - despite Ural price far above price cap ⚠️

The good news with the #Tyche1 being, that it signals at least a temporary end of oil transports on #shadowfleet tankers through the Baltic. It is followed by the #Makalu and then - nothing. #Primorks and #Ust-Luga app. stopped loading. Tankers keep piling up in the region, none currently leaving.

🧵 @Maritime Experts - how can a vessel be registered in Cameroon & have a valid (?) CLC certificate from Panama? #Tyche1 (IMO 9308077)- Cameroon flagged - provided a Panamese CLC to DK authorities upon entry to the Baltic. Tomorrow, it will be in DK waters again, on its way back. #shadowfleet

Had been looking into this case some years ago when working for @transportenvironment.org . Am not surprised it turned out bad for local people. #Biofuels are largely a big industry scam.

In 2022, Italian oil company Eni began approaching Kenyan farmers with a pitch: Plant castor seeds, and we’ll buy the harvest to turn it into green fuel. Our investigation reveals many smallholders were left without pay — and without food.

UPD #Ust-Luga - no tankers at pier, but keep GPS 'spoofing' in mind. Fires almost out. Last heat signature from at least 6hrs ago. Note that VIIRS is very sensitive. Sat image not recent.

UPD #Primorsk - sat img as of 27th. Vessel positions as of now. GPS positions not reliable (see #Makalu). Sanctioned #Tyche1 at pier of burning oil terminal, conf. by sat img. Tyche 1 very sketchy, to be watched. @pa.nton.cx @auonsson.bsky.social @vesselspotter.bsky.social #shadowfleet

#Sikinos being a good citizen is actually still waiting for authorities to finish shuffling papers. Still in Bremerhaven as of right now.

#FinaA still drifting in the North Sea, again signalling #NotUnderCommand Vessel is drifting with the current. Good that it is in Ballast. #shadowfleet

Am not sure if I should laugh out loud or cry.... One ex-Trump voter recently interviewed called him a 'big pile of sh*t'....What does it need to open the eyes of more his Ex's? Same for AfD voters in Germany - that party does not act for the 'small people'. They are their worst nightmare.

Remember Malta flagged, Greek owned bunker tanker #Sikinos? Apparently bunkering sanctioned #Grif in the English Channel? Afterwards went to France, Netherlands and now Germany. Wonder if any authority knocked on the master's door asking what this rendevouz was about... #EUsanctions

#FinaA had to change #falseflag first - from Timor-Leste (false) to Equatorial Guinea.....Can someone call that new registry please?

#Deyna (IMO 9299903), seized by France deep in Algerian waters, just now arriving at Fos sur Mer, after a long AIS gap after its seizure. #shadowfleet #oilfuelswar #renewables

Good news, let’s hope they succeed gcaptain.com/libya-contra...
