Shadow tanker FALCON has no flag, no insurance, 13 deficiencies including structural ones. Turns off her AIS to hide the fact that she slings LPG from Russia.
Entered Baltic Sea an hour ago.

Its literally a stateless tanker driving inside one of the most crowded waterways in the world with AIS disabled and structural damage that could turn it into a massive bomb of it has LPG loaded.
Or is it treason? Sabotage in favor of a terrorist state?
So far, Europe is failing miserably (and my own UK).
Great at meetings and memoranda of understanding.. but not at stopping illegal rusty metal and oil used to find a war.
This might be viewed in the 4 day old EU aim of "heavily targeting Russia’s ‘shadow fleet’"

Board it, seize it.
No complaints
Its time.
Slava Ukraina
Denmark: let the Swedes handle it
Sweden: let the finns handle it
And so on...
Why don't the same rules apply to ships transporting oil through our waters?
