The #RUNA (IMO9314882) seems to have gotten the message. Let's see what it will go for.
#shadowfleet.

Ok...this alert I set up is flooding my inbox with flag changes for #shadowfleet tanker North Lake (#IMO9231468).
Just a technical glitch at the ship's end? It was Palau before, St. Kitts & Nevis since Oct 1, 2025.
It recently had a massive AIS gap, too. But that's a different story...

A #DanishNavy job - sanctioned #shadowfleet tanker #Bolu (#IMO9439539 ), showing odd manoeuvring west of Jutland as of now, #NUC at times, crossing subsea cables, changing flag from Barbados to Cameroon just today at 08:40UTC, acc. to Marine Traffic.

Another #shadowfleet gem:

Sanctioned oil tanker Rhein (IMO9306562) hanging out in the Marmara Sea since Oct 10, navigational status changing from 'underway using engine' to 'underway by sail' to 'not under command'.
Just a first officer with a lot of humour?

You mentioned that the attack affected MT and Vesselfinder, right? While MT looks 'normal' again, Seasearcher still shows these vessels at their spoofed Nov 2 position, incl. many shadow fleet tanker, that I just look at and that got me into this.

Sanctioned, 23 year old #shadowfleet tanker Furia (IMO9257802) apparently in distress on its way out of the Baltic, laden with up to 100,000t Russian crude oil. After a sharp U-turn in the Fehmarn Belt, now idle in Swedish waters, signalling to be 'not under command'.
Let's keep fingers crossed.

#Shadowfleet new analysis - > 3 months after 8 nations pledged tougher controls of Russian oil transports in the Baltic, we checked the numbers:
* traffic goes on unabated
* no. of #falseflag vessels increasing
* mean age now >18yrs

Dear #shadowfleet friends - what do you make of the odd behaviour of the #Qasr (IMO9402471 ) on its way to Baltic Russia? Going in circles, slowing down for no apparent reason.

Another false flagged #shadowfleet oil tanker entering the Baltic, the White Condor I (IMO9255244), falsely Aruba flagged.

Passing Denmark's coastline in less than 3nm distance.

Do stateless vessels enjoy the right of innocent passage, just the same as law abiding vessels?

#Russiasanctions

#ReliableWarrior: Back on track to Russia, after this odd detour, that ended in a 3hr visit from the Estonian pollution control vessel #Ikla. No report yet on #Thetis. Apparently, it got ordered by Estonian authorities to show up for this control. Perhaps complying, as it flies the flag of Greece?

Another odd manouver by the #ReliableWarrior, deep into Estonia's territorial waters now. @pa.nton.cx @auonsson.bsky.social

In case anyone is interested, the #Pushpa (IMO9332810) started moving again yesterday, at below max. speed, now slowing down again.

Sanctioned tanker #Pushpa (IMO9332810), false flag of Malawi, stopped just south of Sicily. Likely laden with 100,000t+ of Russian crude oil.
It is still at that position, now with navigational status 'Not under command'.

Am I paranoid to be concerned?

You will remember the Pushpa...went undeterred through all European EEZs, contrary to the Sierra.
It now stopped south of Sicily.
Certainly to be watch.
