Russia and Iran's shadow tanker fleets under scrutiny
Original: flotte fantôme russe
French business daily Les Echos examines how Russia and Iran have built parallel markets of 'ghost fleets' — ageing tankers operating outside mainstream insurance and regulatory systems to keep oil exports flowing despite Western sanctions. The report describes the fleets as not fully clandestine but operating on the margins of maritime trade, reshaping global shipping.
Why now: Ongoing Western sanctions on Russian and Iranian oil keep attention on the shadow fleets used to circumvent them.
