German Authorities Seize Russian Shadow Fleet Tanker 'Eventin'

The Panama-flagged vessel, disabled in the Baltic Sea in January, is now under German control as part of EU sanctions enforcement against Russia.

The 'Eventin,' a tanker linked to Russia's shadow fleet, was officially seized by German customs authorities under EU sanctions enforcement.
The ship, carrying 100,000 tons of oil, became disabled in January near Rügen, prompting German emergency teams to secure and tow it to safety.
German authorities have completed a crew change on the vessel, which remains anchored near Rügen as investigations continue.
The seizure enables German authorities to process the oil cargo and the vessel in compliance with EU sanctions regulations.
The 'Eventin' is part of a fleet of over 150 aging tankers used by Russia to bypass international sanctions on oil exports.
