🚨 I'll dedicate time to raising the alarm about Russia’s "dark fleet," whose operations threaten marine life and endanger sailors. #DarkFleet #MaritimeSafety #OceanWatch 🌊⚓️ 🔎 Working on a script to track the “dark fleet” on public sites like @MarineTraffic or @VesselFinder . Looking for tips, data sources, or open-source tools to collaborate on this !🛰️💻

🚨🚨🚨 I’m still monitoring Equatorial Guinea’s maritime register, which continues to grow by the day. It turns out that a Turkish company presents itself as the official administrator of Equatorial Guinea’s ship registry. However, no direct evidence of formal authorization from the Equatorial Guinean authorities to register vessels can be found publicly. @Michellewb_ @TankerTrackers @Galwaybaywatch @realLangerDan

A lot of tankers of the #darkfleet are using the flag of Equatorial Guinea recently ! Like the INVICTA, showing this flag after being deregistered by Cameroon. Maybe this trend is related to a false society using false certificate.. @Michellewb_ @TankerTrackers @Galwaybaywatch

🚨🚨🚨 Recorded Future published a report on the 11th of June about how darkfleet tankers evade sanctions using inauthentic websites. recordedfuture.com/research/cyber… This is a very dense report and is worth a deep look ! Especially Cluster A and B. Multiple inauthentic websites endorsing each other, forging documents and impersonating legal maritime administration, this is how they operate. @TankerTrackers @realLangerDan @Galwaybaywatch @Michellewb_

@SONARROW_OSINT I noticed this kind of behaviour off the coast of Morroco too ! Ships entering the Mediterranean to do STS with another one waiting a few nautical miles east of the straight.

🇨🇾 South Cyprus: Russian shadow fleet rotation? Tankers NISSOS SIKINOS (IMO 9884033) and MINERVA KYTHNOS (IMO 9592252) completed a ship-to-ship (STS) last week. MINERVA KYTHNOS is the 3rd tanker from its company to perform an STS in the area, following MINERVA ANTHONIA (IMO 9380398) and MINERVA JOY (IMO 9363479). NISSOS SIKINOS and MINERVA tankers have been regularly seen calling at Russian terminals. This ship rotation practice seems deliberate, to avoid suspicion on a single vessel.

@Eurohans I agree, this is excellent news. The capabilities of this aircraft are outstanding ! Belgium is moving forward in strengthening its surveillance capabilities: after the Reaper, comes the GlobalEye.

Great news and excellent initiative from our MoD to join a new ‘AWACS coalition’ by EUropean nations to acquire ten Saab Globaleye radar surveillance and control aircraft!

Theo Francken@FranckenTheo

At the NATO Defence Industry Forum in Ankara, Belgium joined 🇨🇦 🇩🇪 🇩🇰 🇱🇻 🇱🇺 🇳🇱 🇳🇴 🇷🇴 🇸🇪 🇪🇸 and 🇨🇿 in taking a major step towards NATO's future surveillance and control capability. The participating nations agreed to acquire up to 10 Saab GlobalEye aircraft together, to replace NATO's ageing AWACS fleet by the mid-2030s. European aircraft for stronger European strategic autonomy.

🚨🚨🚨 The #darkfleet 🇸🇱 MV MARS 6 (9384992) is a sanctioned tanker operating between Ust-Luga and Asian ports. Always passing through the mediterranean this ageing tanker is a massive threats for the environment and the coast life. This is already its third rotation this year. How long until a disaster occur ? It may no be financially covered in case of a dramatic event in the Suez canal ! @SuezAuthorityEG @EGY_Environment @Michellewb_ @TankerTrackers @Galwaybaywatch

🇨🇾 South Cyprus: the Russian shadow fleet's offshore hub On 29 June, TRITONEA 🇲🇭 (ex LEO II, IMO 9243318) completed its 11th STS transfer of the month, this time with Malta-flagged LUCKY LADY 🇲🇹 (IMO 9288796), en route from Novorossiysk to Alexandria. TRITONEA is a key offshore transfer hub sustaining the shadow fleet.

SONARROW@SONARROW_OSINT

🔎 Depuis juillet, le pétrolier LEO II tourne en rond au large de Chypre 🇨🇾 Attente commerciale ? Problème technique ? Ni l’un ni l’autre : il joue un rôle clé dans le contournement de sanctions liées au pétrole russe🇷🇺 tout en faisant du surplace. On décrypte 🧵

🚨 In addition to MARQUISE, another dark-fleet tanker is sitting at berth in Yalova: FLORA 1 (IMO 9307815). Current ISM Manager: LONG MEN SHIPMANAGEMENT CO LTD Registered owner: ANKANG LTD ⚠️But yesterday’s trail: Gatik ecosystem. ⚠️ History: AIS blackouts, Russian port calls incl. Primorsk, and a ship-to-ship oil transfer near Greece after Ust-Luga. 🚩 How many red flags are enough? @denizcilikgm @sahilguvkom

🚨🇹🇷 MARQUISE (IMO 9315745), sanctioned & with no valid flag, is berthed in Türkiye. 🇨🇲 Displays Cameroon flag ❌ Removed by Cameroon ❌ Equasis: UNKNOWN ISM ❌ GISIS: no ship found ➡️ This tanker is a major maritime security threat. @denizcilikgm @sahilguvkom @gibihbar why are you allowing this? Will you act, or let it stay? @gazetesozcu

🇬🇶 NILANGA — IMO 9412452 : Sanctioned by the EU/UK/Canada, reflagged to Equatorial Guinea in 2026, owned by a one-ship Hong Kong company, IACS class withdrawn, then Russian Register delivered in 03/2026 (what a surprise). According to GISIS, this sanctioned tanker is linked to NorthStandard P&I cover. Yet NorthStandard’s own public vessel database shows no result for the IMO. Data mismatch? Outdated records? Dark-fleet opacity? what is your guess? @RFNOSBlog @TankerTrackers @Galwaybaywatch @Michellewb_

🚨 New holiday destination unlocked by the dark fleet: “ARMED GUARDS ON BOARD.” MARJORIE — IMO 9296377 — is matched to the Suez Canal, but its reported AIS destination reads like a warning label. Sun, sea, crude oil… and apparently armed security included. seriously, can someone explain me this AIS Feature ? @Michellewb_ @RFNOSBlog @bayraktar_1love @BartGonnissen

The Lada-class SSK and the Improved Kilo-class SSK are leaving the Baltic Sea, possibly heading for their home bases,which are likely “Kronshtadt” and “Mozhaisk”/“Yakutsk”. The Ropucha-class landing ship Kondopoga is also with them. Could this simply be a planned redeployment or a routine transfer, possibly linked to the cancellation of Russia’s Navy Day events? Thanks for sharing this update and for the contribution, @MrFrantarelli. Much appreciated. @SONARROW_OSINT @UKForcesTracker @TiaFarris10 @auonsson @CeciliaSykala @Natalia4Russia @Richard_AHolmes FB-"Under Broen"/Kurt Pedersen

🚨 TM BONIFACY (IMO 9284726) is under international sanctions. The tanker has been in Turkey since 16 June. Not illegal in itself — but one more sign of Ankara’s tolerance toward the dark fleet. So on one hand, 🇹🇷 asks Kyiv and Moscow not to bring the war into its waters. Fair enough. But allowing sanctioned dark fleet tankers to use Turkey as a safe maritime space is also part of the war’s logistics. @UATV_en @RFNOSBlog

#Darkfleet 🚩🇨🇲 MOCHA (9271951) is a sanctionned tanker currently sailing off the coast of Turkey in the mediterranean. This vessel is operating between Turkey and Russian port in the black sea. I noticed that she's loitering off Antalya (only 14 nm traveled in the last 24 hours) after she departed from Tasucu. IMO a strange behaviour, what are you thinking ? @RFNOSBlog @WatchSea_OSINT @Galwaybaywatch @Springbok1973

No licence to spill for the (James) BOND ! 🚫 🚨🚨🚨 🇴🇲 BOND (9412335) is a sanctioned #darkfleet tanker at anchor in Algeria. Coming from Severomorsk, she's at anchor since the 21st of June. An ageing tanker represents a major risk for the coast line and the population, according to Equasis this one hasn't been inspected since April 2024 !

🚨🚨🚨 ONGOING STS transfer between 2 sanctioned #darkfleet tanker in 31°31.09N 32°19.30E ! (IVO Suez canal) MV 🇨🇲 MARBLE (9323974) & MV 🇸🇱 LERUO (9385831) are alongside since the 06/08 at 17h00 UTC. They are 500 yards off the territorial waters of Egypt ! What if there's a spill or a collision in these shallow waters ? Is Egypt ready for this kind of operation ? @SuezAuthorityEG @EGY_Environment @RFNOSBlog @TankerTrackers @Galwaybaywatch @Michellewb_

Hundreds of vessels have become part of an illegal maritime ecosystem, called Russian Shadow Fleet, designed to reduce the impact of sanctions on Russian energy exports. By using aging tankers and opaque ownership structures, Moscow is sustaining oil exports while increasing environmental and security risks.

The 🇲🇿 Chariot Tide (9323376), a #darkfleet tanker that departed from Novorossiisk in early May. She only turned on her AIS after entering the Aegan sea. After a 1 day period of loitering in front of Port-Saïd (STS Transfer ?) she anchored in front of Alexandria from the 05/27 to the 06/12. After a 48H stop she's back at anchor in front of Alexandria. For context, in January, this tanker had to be towed to Tanger by a Spanish vessel after an engine/steering failure. How long before another accident happens ? What if there's no help nearby ? @Springbok1973 @Michellewb_ @RFNOSBlog
