Stören, fälschen und blockieren sind die Mittel im Kampf um die Kontrolle von Navigation und Position.
Was steckt dahinter und wie reagiert die #Bundeswehr? ➡️

Massive fraudulent flag operation linking over 20 separate fake sites uncovered A Lloyd’s List investigation has revealed the connections between the rapidly growing number of fraudulent ship registries being used by hundreds of sanctioned ships globally

Worked with @lloydslisted.bsky.social to uncover a massive network of fraudulent ship registry websites, many listed as official flag state contacts in the IMO GISIS website:

On the german side, every tanker inbound the baltic without known P&I covarage is asked for the CLC-Docs. There is a Notice to mariners

No indication for that. And not very smart as the vessel has to pass via great Belt Bridge.

And after the construction area für the Fehmern-Tunnel, the vessel will prbably be asked for the CLC-Dokuments. And then in Estonia, Finland, Sweden and on he way out in the great Belt by the Danes.
