Boracay was highest-profile falsely flagged tanker we've seen so far. (~62% of @windward-ai.bsky.social' s dark fleet over 20kdwt is falsely flagged or unknown). Yet despite headlines & fact Benin-flagged tanker is unregulated, insurance invalidated etc, discharged cargo at Vadinar, India 1/11

A long read, but an important one as the role of insurance and insurers in enabling Russian sanctions evasion is gaining more attention:

Starboard Maritime Intelligence has identified a false-flagged VLCC — NOVA (#IMO9283801) — transiting west through the Malacca Strait. It is now operating as ARROW (#IMO9212876), scrapped in 2018 as S MISTRAL. The stolen identity and AIS spoofing indicate sanctions evasion.

The US used to lead on sanctioning Russia's shadow fleet, which is Putin's Achilles heel. But no longer (lhs). The US hasn't sanctioned any ships since early January and now sanctions only a pitiful 17 ships on its own (rhs, blue). That has to change. @econharris.bsky.social @brookings.edu

1/ I just uploaded a preprint on targeted sanctions against Russia’s “shadow fleet” of oil tankers.
The results suggest that the most recent sanctions are working: the sanctioned fleet is still active, but in a much more limited capacity.
