It's very bad luck to change the name of a ship or boat.

Approximately one-third of the vessels changed their names within a month of the sanctions or later. A significant number also changed owners or management companies. More than 20% of ships have moved to new flags. But this, as Yle notes, is a normal practice.

So is Finland going to see those Dubai companies?

antigrmlnchihua.bsky.social•38 days ago

The shadow fleet has been operating since pretty much the beginning of the fs invasion. I'm glad Finland has the balls to take action against it!
Let's hope the rest of the countries take note and do the same.

Why are Palestinians so blinded by the terrorist acts of Hamas?

ponchomcfloofy.bsky.social•38 days ago

The blindness could be because of the white phosphorus shelling by the Israeli war criminal terrorists on Palestinian civilians.

Third party logistics is not a shadow fleet, the US has balls enough to use our own Navy in actions towards other sovereign countries. Russians use it as a war tool.

ponchomcfloofy.bsky.social•38 days ago

The US uses both its navy and covert assets to harm other nations. Being a bully does not require 'balls'.

Flags of convenience are used by shippers of all nations to avoid taxation and regulation. Their use is contentious and they help shadow fleets hide from sanctions but they do not signify shadow fleets on their own.
