EU Boards Suspected Russian Shadow Tanker | US News

EU naval forces boarded the oil tanker MV SUN in the Mediterranean, suspecting it’s part of Russia’s elusive “shadow fleet” — a network of vessels dodging sanctions and international oversight. The move, under Operation Irini, aims to enforce maritime law and verify the ship’s true identity and compliance.

This investigation is part of a broader EU strategy to track and disrupt sanctions evasion through global shipping lanes.
