A Russia-linked oil tanker suspected of being part of the country’s so-called “shadow fleet” arrived at a French port on Tuesday after being detained by the French Navy. According to AFP, the vessel, named Tagr, was seized on suspicion of using a false flag. This marks the fourth ship France has detained since September of the previous year. The French Navy, supported by the United Kingdom, intercepted the tanker in international waters on Sunday morning after its Russian captain refused to comply with orders.
The Kremlin condemned the seizure, describing it as an act of “international piracy.” The tanker reached the Bay of Douarnenez in the Brittany region of western France on Tuesday morning, AFP reported. Open-source database OpenSanctions.org indicates that the ship is suspected of transporting oil for Russia or Iran in violation of international sanctions.
The incident underscores ongoing Western efforts to enforce sanctions against Russia’s oil trade and highlights tensions over maritime enforcement in international waters.
