Among the listed damaged vessels are at least two tankers from Russia's "shadow fleet," The Insider found.The attack on the Tuapse port on the night of November 2. As a result, as local authorities reported the day before, "two foreign civilian vessels" were damaged, but their names were not specified. The Krasnodar Operational Headquarters also specified that a drone wreckage fell on one of the oil tankers, which damaged the deck superstructure. No casualties were reported. Telegram channel "Spy Dossier" lists the names of the damaged tankers: these are POLLUX (Panama, IMO: 9243320), CHAI (Liberia, IMO: 9275402), COAST BUSTER (Bahamas, IMO: 9312913) and SATURN I (Russia, IMO: 9655470).

It shows two damaged pipelines, the consequences of a fire on one of the tankers, as well as traces of oil leaking into the seaAccording to the available photo, the damaged vessel is the tanker CHAI, which sails under the flag of Liberia. It is difficult to assess the consequences of the damage due to the poor quality of the photo.At least two of the vessels listed in the "Spy Dossier" are attributed to the Russian "shadow fleet," The Insider noted. Thus, the tanker SATURN I was included in the UK sanctions lists in May this year as a vessel involved in the transportation of Russian oil. The POLLUX vessel is also included in the unofficial list of Russian "shadow fleet" vessels compiled by Greenpeace.In addition, according to the Starboard Maritime Intelligence service studied by The Insider, three vessels are at risk because their age exceeds 15-20 years. Old oil tankers are often used by Moscow as part of its shadow fleet. Since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, European and American shipowners have sold more than 200 outdated tankers to the Russian shadow fleet. Such tankers without proper maintenance, which has become especially difficult against the backdrop of sanctions, pose a threat to the environment.PATREONSupport the website Write your comment 1 You can support the website Charter97.orgMULTI-CURRENCY ACCOUNT FOR ASSISTANCE:Bank's name: Bank Millennium S.A.Address: ul.
