The seizures are also happening as Washington pressures New Delhi to stop taking Russian crude, as part of a deal to cut import tariffs on the South Asian nation. India said early last year that it wouldn't allow sanctioned tankers to discharge at its ports. The coast guard didn't name the vessels it had seized, but shared photos of them in its post. The pictures matched past images of the Chiltern, Asphalt Star and Stellar Ruby that can be found on MarineTraffic, a ship-tracking intelligence platform. Ship-intelligence platform TankerTracker.com identified the same vessels through their unique seven-digit IMO numbers. All three ships were sanctioned by Washington last year for links to the Iranian oil trade. Nobody responded to emails seeking comment at offices of the registered owners of the tankers as listed on the Equasis database. Calls made to the owners and manager of Chiltern and Asphalt Star were directed to voice mail. Calls made to the owner and manager of Stellar Ruby were not answered. The three vessels seized by the Indian Coast Guard were being escorted to Mumbai for further investigation, a spokesperson said on Monday. The so-called shadow, or dark, fleet is a group of around 1,500 tankers that carry Russian, Iranian and Venezuelan oil around the world. Malaysian authorities released two aging tankers earlier this month that it had detained for conducting a ship-to-ship transfer of oil without permission.
#India seizes three tankers in first action against Dark Fleet: It’s the first time New Delhi has taken such action…and comes as the US and Europe lead an effort to get tougher on vessels moving sanctioned oil. archive.ph/YY1HL #DarkFleet #sanctions
4/4 Escortés vers Mumbai pour enquête, ces navires illustrent la pression croissante sur les flottes "grises" transportant du pétrole sous embargo. Une opération de police en mer qui envoie un signal fort aux opérateurs de navires sous-normes. 🏆

5/5 Entre usurpation de pavillon et escortes navales, la sécurité maritime change de visage. La "flotte fantôme" n'a jamais été aussi exposée... ni aussi protégée. Un dossier brûlant pour la stabilité des eaux internationales. 🌍🏆

U.S. forces seized two Russian‑flagged tankers; the Marinera in the North Atlantic and the Sophia in the Caribbean, accused of smuggling Venezuelan crude.

4/4 Le Marinera devient un enjeu de souveraineté en haute mer. Ce cas souligne la fragilité du contrôle des navires "apatrides" et l'usage de pavillons de complaisance comme boucliers diplomatiques face aux inspections de l'US Coast Guard. 🌊 #MarineMarchande #DarkFleet #DroitDeLaMer #Geopolitique
4/4 Vers une saisie imminente ? Les mouvements de C-17 vers le Royaume-Uni suggèrent une opération musclée. Un test de force pour la souveraineté en haute mer et le contrôle des flux pétroliers sous sanctions internationales. 🛡️💨 #MaritimeSecurity #DarkFleet #USNavy #Geopolitique
Venezuela’s oil exports to Asia have stalled for days as U.S. enforcement tightens, leaving #Chevron as the only steady outlet to the #USGulfCoast and pushing more cargoes into the #darkfleet trade. #oiltankers #sanctions #maritime

Hypocrite to go after a ship of the #DarkFleet of #Venezuela while refusing to go after the dark fleet of #Russia that funds the #Ukrainerwar of #Putin.
#Trump is after raw materials oil by regime change in #Venezuela and minerals from #Putin by the betrayal of #Ukraine
