Before 2022 there were about 600 shadow fleet vessels. Most of the ships bought to increase the sanctioned shipments would have been otherwise retired. Over 70% of these vessels are 15+ years old. Since they evade inspections they are more likely to break down or break in half.
The top three destinations for sanctioned Russian oil are India, China and Turkey. India is the largest recipient of oil from gray fleet ships. China edges out India as the largest recipient from dark fleet ships.
While ownership is purposefully obscured, companies located in Greece represent the largest group of actual owners of dark ships, followed by Russia, UAE, China and Turkey.

Είναι πραγματική ντροπή. Η ευρωπαϊκή μου πσυχή αγανακτεί στη σκέψη ότι η ελίτ της πατρίδας μας βγάζει έτσι ξεδιάντροπα ματωμένα χρήματα πάνω στους τάφους των νεκρών παιδιών της Ουκρανίας.
