In response to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Washington has escalated its sanctions, specifically targeting the Arctic LNG 2 facility. This plant is crucial to Russia's ambitious goal of controlling 20% of the global LNG market by 2030-2035 and was set to become Russia’s largest LNG plant with an anticipated annual output of nearly 20 million metric tons. Despite these sanctions, data from Pole Star Global reveals that the Everest Energy LNG carrier loaded at the Arctic LNG 2 site (highlighted in blue), and is currently en route from the Kara Sea to the Laptev Sea. This situation underscores the importance of maintaining transparency to ensure maritime operations remain compliant at all times. To confidently navigate shifting regulations, utilise Pole Star Global’s #PurpleTRAC and #MDA solutions for seamless vessel tracking.

Just last week, the Sunny Ocean, a floating armoury managed by the Chinese security firm Sinoguards, was attacked by Houthi vessels claiming to be "the navy." The crew had to fire warning shots to drive them off, prompting an Italian warship to divert to assist. The Sunny Ocean was broadcasting from off the coast of Eritrea, signalling "Chinese ship." Houthi rebels may promise safe passage for Chinese and Russian vessels, but the reality is far more dangerous. 🔍 Safety at sea starts with accurate data.

In the early morning hours, the Greek-flagged tanker Sounion, operated by Delta Tankers, was attacked 77 nautical miles west of Hodeidah, Yemen. Fortunately, none of the 25 crew members were injured. However, according to the UKMTO, the vessel is having potential manoeuvring issues and is currently NUC (Not Under Command). The incident began when two small craft approached the tanker, prompting a brief exchange of small arms fire. The small craft then retreated to a distance of 2 nautical miles. By 0500 UTC, the Master reported that the tanker had been hit by two unidentified projectiles, followed by a third. The vessel reported being not under command (meaning it was unable to manoeuvre as required by the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs) due to exceptional circumstances). Pole Star Global continues to monitor the event and track the Sounion tanker. This transparency is crucial for maintaining safety at sea, which starts with accurate data. With Pole Star Global's #PurpleTRAC and #MDA solutions, you can track vessel movements in high-risk zones with pinpoint accuracy. Stay ahead of threats with real-time alerts and detailed monitoring. Protect your fleet and navigate with confidence. For more information, get in touch at sales@polestarglobal.com. #SafetyatSea #SeaClearly #PoleStarGlobal

Russia continues its "shell game," shifting tankers to dodge sanctions and keep the financial flow alive. Despite a drop in demand, many sanctioned tankers are now idle. In May, oil shipments were down by 170,000 barrels below daily limits, according to Bloomberg. Bloomberg also notes that Russia employs smaller Aframax class crude tankers, with capacities of 80,000 to 120,000 dwt, to transport crude from depots and execute ship-to-ship transfers, delivering large cargoes to buyers. Greece, once a prime spot for these transfers, has recently blocked a frequently used area for military exercises, a measure that is still in place. Pole Star Global continues to monitor the Russian shadow fleet of tankers. Notable examples include: 👉🏿 The Rolin and The Serendi, anchored at Nador, eastern Morocco. 👉🏼 Sea Fidelity and Ocean AMZ, also at Nador, "awaiting orders" from Russia. As the oil market weakens, Russia must find new locations for these transfers. Stay ahead and monitor the Russian shadow fleet to ensure compliance at all times with #PurpleTRAC and #MDA solutions.
