Thu Jan 08 11:03:03 CET 2026 Timsen On Jan 7, 2026, Greepeace activists have protested against the Russian shadow fleet tanker 'Eventin' from inflatable boats near the anchorage off the coast of Rügen, Five activists approached the "Eventin" to within about 100 meters, carrying a banner that read "Oil kills." In January 2025, all systems had failed on the tanker, which was loaded with almost 100,000 tons of Russian oil, off the coast of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The ship drifted in the Baltic Sea for hours before it was taken in tow. As part of the shadow fleet, over 1,000 tankers are "ready for the scrap heap, poorly maintained, and operating with poorly trained crews on the world's oceans. Russia exports its crude oil using these junk tankers, of which up to five pass the German Baltic coast daily carrying Russian crude oil. It's not a question of if something will happen, but only when. And the profits from this transport are used to build missiles and drones to bombard cities in Ukraine. This must stop immediately," said Thilo Maack, a marine biologist with Greenpeace, after the action German customs initially wanted to seize and dispose of the "Eventin" and its cargo. The Federal Fiscal Court (BFH) recently halted these orders on appeal. This was only an expedited proceeding. The legal tug-of-war could continue in a main proceeding. Furthermore, the ship's owner is challenging the listing and sanctioning as a shadow fleet tanker before the Court of Justice of the EU.
