Intensification of Sea Hunting: Who Will “Drown” the Shadow Fleet of the Russian Federation

So, on January 15, Germany refused to enter the Baltic Sea the Tavian tanker under the flag of Cameroon. We are talking about a 27-year-old tanker, which is called a "zombie tanker" due to constant changes in name and identification data. As experts have established, Tavian uses a fake IMO number 1095337. According to German experts, it is actually a Tia tanker (IMO 9147447), one of the oldest large oil tankers still in service. The Tia vessel is included in the US sanctions list and the United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) organization.
