Remarks |
On 1 March 2026, Belgian special forces, supported by French naval helicopters, boarded and seized the oil tanker M/T Ethera (IMO 9387279) in the North Sea near Ostend. The vessel, assessed as part of Russia’s shadow fleet, was operating under a fraudulent Guinean flag and was declared effectively stateless during inspection. It was subsequently escorted under armed guard to Zeebrugge under EU sanctions enforcement authorities |
