The United States is pursuing several oil tankers across the Atlantic after a mass departure from Venezuelan waters this weekend. Most of the ships are carrying oil; one flies the Russian flag.

Lago di Ledro (9471654/636093203) has been sitting in the Irish Sea at anchor for more than 24 hours, adjacent to the route between Dublin and Holyhead. Last port was Arkhangelsk and its stated destination is Izmir, Turkey.
It is not a sanctioned vessel, but it's a somewhat curious place to park.

There is a dramatic amount of activity today in the North Atlantic. Second ASW P8 to cross Ireland today.
Looks to be heading up towards the Bella 1/Marinera. Some images circulating also purporting to be from onboard the ship tailed by a US Coastguard ship.

Two more US naval aircraft flew over Irish airspace on surveillance missions in the Atlantic. One just off the tip of Donegal. Another over the centre of the country (taking in Doonbeg along the way). Simon Harris says he "imagines" rules were followed

my hot take is that I don't think it's this website specifically that's toxic. the Circumstances are toxic and nobody really knows what to do about it so they come online and scream. and if I may offer an alternative: actually going outside and screaming feels better.

Ah lads, come on now, right over Doonbeg.
Still, at least unlike that Do328, their callsign doesn't seem to be "DADDY".
Small mercies.

The blacklisted VLCC supertanker MARINERA (9230880), formerly known as BELLA 1, continues to proceed northeast. Technically, she could enter the Baltic Sea given she's empty but the alternative is Russia's Arctic region.
The crew most likely didn't pack warm for such a detour.
