The help in emergency situations is excluded from the EU sanctions. Please have a look at VO 833/2014.
Sanctions are increasingly causing ships to burn through flag states at a record pace. Interesting to see container ships in the crowd. 🔥 sketchy.boats/9122473 Newly renamed VELON 1 carrying a false flag of Aruba. Looks like they dropped anchor to paint the new name and home port on the stern.
everything you need to know from an academic and legal perspective about false flag ships from the very best: Professor George Theocharidis, professor of maritime law and policy at Sweden's World Maritime University. I interviewed him for Windward's Trade Sense. youtube.com/watch?v=OCTn...
1/ I just uploaded a preprint on targeted sanctions against Russia’s “shadow fleet” of oil tankers. The results suggest that the most recent sanctions are working: the sanctioned fleet is still active, but in a much more limited capacity.
Most tankers in ballast use the Sound. However, only ships with a maximum draught (~8 m) can pass through the Sound. Therefore, fully loaded tankers pass through the Belt. That is where the deep-water route is (--> restricted in draught). Normal: To RUS via the Sound, back through the Great Belt.
Mostly three russian insurances... Some of the Comores CLC-Doks are in serif font and others not. I have to look up, which one was correct.
free to read update on how GPS jamming is affecting shipping including breakdown at four major GPS hotspots -- three in Russia and one in Red Sea of Sudan. Such greyzone aggression is major navigational hazard GPS jamming affected nearly 2,000 ships in the past 30 days windward.ai/blog/new-gps...
EU Sanctions (19th package) are in preparation.
The EU "Wall of Shame:" more than 3 years after the invasion of Ukraine, Western goods continue to flow through Kyrgyzstan (and many other places) on their way to Russia. This is all well known in Brussels, yet nothing happens. No more photo ops. No more sanctions packages. Just end this...
With proper jamming you will not get any signal. An encrypted data is good to avoid spoofing.
Shadow fleet tankers experiment with stateless identification numbers ▶️Simultaneous use of legitimate and illegitimate numbers ▶️One ship used a technically flagless MMSI number alongside a fake IMO number www.lloydslist.com/articles/202...
And in the baltic sea, lots of tankers under the flag of Malta are trading with Russia. For sure under the oil prime cap!
The german administration is reliable: www2.bsh.de/daten/NFS/Nf... Page 8
www.emsa.europa.eu/newsroom/lat... In the Western Baltic, EMSA’s RPAS are also supporting German and Danish authorities in emissions monitoring within a designated Sulphur Emissions Control Area (SECA). Just have a look of the sensors:https://www.emsa.europa.eu/rpas-systems/sensors-portfolio.html
In the last years, the were operated from Fehmern and from Bundespolizei vessels. There is a notice to mariner announcing the drones.
That is an emission control "sniffer" drone (Ships emission/sulphur) by BSH/EMSA.

Are you still working on your tool, combining AIS and ADS-B?
Amazing work! Thank you.
Thank you for pointing that out. It encourages me to try to develop a filter that compares the transmitted MMSI with the specified flags and thus detects fraud. www.itu.int/en/ITU-R/ter...
I've seen many of the false-flagged Malawi ships, switching to Mozambique MMSIs. Went to the IMO GISIS page for Mozambique. A domain name tied to the 'Marinegov' network that I worked with Lloyds List to uncover. www.lloydslist.com/LL1154326/Ma... I warned the IMO about this, about one month ago.
19th EU sanctions package in September www.politico.eu/article/eu-u...
I do not think that the aircraft are linked to the Passage. The Emsa drone is a long arranged campain to check the emission parameter of ships. And the Do228 is on a normal environmental Mission (oil spill detection)
I talked to @lloydslisted.bsky.social about false flag registries online and increasing velocity of flag hopping.
Great, the answer for: bsky.app/profile/leif...
Ship Registries Closing to the Dark [Shadow] Fleets of Russia, Iran, and Venezuela The decision of the largest ship registries to purge ships suspected of being in the Dark Fleet from their rolls. youtu.be/wr1ovuhSZyw
Which Software is showing the change like that?
Norway's introduction of new control mechanisms against Russian 'shadow fleet' comes as a suspicious tanker has been criss-crossing outside the country's Arctic coast for more than three weeks

Hello, I don't see any unusual interference. Just the "normal" AIS spoofing. I do not see the involvent of Sb-123.
Worked with @lloydslisted.bsky.social to uncover a massive network of fraudulent ship registry websites, many listed as official flag state contacts in the IMO GISIS website:
@lloydslistdaily.bsky.social and @lloydslisted.bsky.social with a great article on the latest EU sanctions. On the unflagged tankers: “The latest sanctions suggest that the strategy is to go behind the ships themselves and tackles the facilitating network of companies and individuals behind them.”
In the ITU Database, there is only one vessel... www.itu.int/mmsapp/ships...
On the german side, every tanker inbound the baltic without known P&I covarage is asked for the CLC-Docs. There is a Notice to mariners
No indication for that. And not very smart as the vessel has to pass via great Belt Bridge.
And after the construction area für the Fehmern-Tunnel, the vessel will prbably be asked for the CLC-Dokuments. And then in Estonia, Finland, Sweden and on he way out in the great Belt by the Danes.
Please find the link for the 18th sanction package. eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-conten... The vessels are in Annex IX
No. Malawi informed IMO and Interpol about fraud! The officiel register has 5 vessels. Two are smalltalk fishing vessels... Just Google for it.
Perhaps they feared the EMSA drone for emission control. But I do not know the start time of the flight mission. My pic was taken at 11:18 and the drone was flying quite some time.
The Devika stopped T 18:15 UTC . West of Falkenberg; SWE. No vessels of authorities on AIS.
Interessting as Article 110 I lit d UNCLOS is applicable on the high sea.
Even better. So no casus belli for the fearsome states as no "russian" cargo.
There are countries wuth New ship registries without Computer, Software and knowledge. Other status are helping these states to find there role as flag states! Hard way to go.
Awsome visualisation, great work! I am waiting for your post!
Just look at the Swepos DGPS Station and you can get realtime information on jamming...
There are claims out there that Ukraine’s attack on Russian strategic bombers (see article below) was possible due to provisions in the strategic nuclear arms control agreement New START which purportedly requires both parties to park their heavy bombers in the open. This is utter nonsense. 1/ 🧵
Das 17. Sanktionspaket soll wohl nächsten Dienstag veröffentlicht werden.
Do you know, how to operate this kind of spoofing? Do you have an open source reference?
Please have a look at IMO 9284594, 9290361, 9459242
In the last days, there have been several cicular spoofers on that spot and some over the island West of Primorsk.

Do you know the Bonn Agreement? Germany offered assistance to UK.
U.a. wurde bei auonsson der passende Registerauszug gepostet.
Tja, dann stimmt es wohl trotzdem nicht.
Wir haben keine UN-Resolution, nur Sanktionen EU, UK, USA, die noch nicht mal deckungsgleich sind. Interessant zu meinen, dass sich Indien daran halten muss.
Das Schiff fährt unter der Flagge Panamas und transportiert russisches Öl nach Indien via Port Said (schon paar Mal). Schau bitte mal VO 833/2014 an! Selbst ein russisches Schiff dürfte in Seenot einen europäischen Hafen anlaufen Artikel 3 ea Absatz 4 und ganz nebenbei Völkergewohnheitsrecht.
Ehrlich, da ging es aber diesmal wild durcheinander.
Woher weißt Du, dass das Schiff keine Versicherung hat? Fehlinformation.
Moin, hast Du Dich einmal mit Völkerecht befasst? So einfach wie nationales Recht ist es nicht. Es gibt so was wie das Seerechtsübereikommen. Aktuell befinden wir uns nicht im Krieg! Hier handelt es sich um einen Tanker unter der Flagge Panamas mit Ware, die außerhalb Europas legal ist.
Beim staatlichen Notschleppen wird grundsätzlich der Havarist solange gehalten, bis vom Eigentümer bestellte Schlepper übernehmen.
Naja, bei Blackout ist die Akkupufferung nur eine Zeit erfolgreich.
Die Reederei der Bremen Fighter hat sich in der Ausschreibung für einen Schlepper mit 100 t Pfahlzug durchgesetz. Aktuell ist wieder die Notschleppleistung europaweit ausgeschrieben. Die Positionen mit dem Pfahlzug ergeben sich aus dem staatlichen Notschleppkonzept.
www.gdws.wsv.bund.de/DE/schifffah...
Die MZS haben derzeit 40 t Pfahlzug. Die Scharhörn wird ersetzt gehen Ende des Jahres durch den Neubau mit 145 t Pfahlzug.
Es gibt in der deutschen Ostsee zwei Mehrzeckschiffe: Scharhörn (Westteil) und Arkona (Ostteil). Weiterhin zwei gecharterte Notschlepper, Baltic und derzeit Bremen Fighter. Im Bereich der Kadetrinne werden die bei Bedarf von der Verkehrszentrale Warnemünde eingesetzt nach Erfordernis.
Die Verkehrszentrale in Warnemünde setzt schon die geeigneten Einsatzmittel ein. Die Bremen Fighter ist wunderbar geeignet für die Aufgabe, bis die vom Eigentümer zu charternden Schlepper übernehmen.
