US EditionSanctions-evading Russian oil ships could pollute the Arctic, PM’s adviser warns
Canada and G7 have blacklisted over 400 Russian shadow vessels in six months to enforce oil sanctions and protect the Arctic from environmental risks, officials said.
- Canada and its allies have blacklisted more than 400 shadow vessels in six months, aiming to prevent Arctic environmental risks, Ottawa said earlier this month.
- Faced with a price cap, G7 nations deny insurers or services to ships breaching it, while analysts say Russia evades sanctions by reflagging vessels in Comoros, Oman and Panama, forming a shadow fleet.
- Earlier this month the Nordic-Baltic Eight warned older, underinsured ships routinely disable automatic identification systems and GPS jamming, while over a third of ships associated with Russia in the Baltic Sea lack insurance, raising cleanup risks.
- Allies say blacklisting vessels has reduced Russian shadow fleet oil transport, and Canada pressed G7 peers while collaborating with Denmark and European and Nordic-Baltic governments.
- Advisers warn `the idea of illegal, substandard, uninsured vessels transiting through High North and Arctic waters was, is, and remains a terrifying prospect`, while Moscow insists it is abiding by global rules and experts call for registry compliance and U.S. secondary sanctions.
