This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I'm sure this is not a new thing, but I just found out about it, and I think it's pretty neat!

Not the ones that turn off their transponders! For example, the Chinese squid jigger mother ships, the Chinese krill dragnet ships, the Chinese illegal salvage ships plundering war graves, and of course, the Chinese and Russian transship tankers smuggling sanctioned oil in international waters.

There is a group of people on bluesky tracking the russian shadow fleet, they are often trying to fake their registrations, which cannot be confirmed ofc.

Edit: and this is how it's going regarding the stopping of sanctioned and false flagged oil tankers: https://www.lloydslist.com/LL1154431/Baltic-shadow-fleet-stand-off-continues-as-Russia-warns-of-tanker-raids

if i were NATO, i would have fucked up russia's business long ago and snatched a few loads of free crude too.
