Lawless shadow tanker PEACE who left Baltic Sea laden with Russian oil for India has changed flag, again. Mid journey. Imagine that!

"According to information available to the Estonian Navy, the vessel is not part of the Russian "shadow fleet" nor is it subject to European Union sanctions," the MTA said.
Danish and US Air Forces were exercising together, over Greenland, during the Greenland crisis the other week.

Lets hope they at least have gotten lee cloths.

It has started to freeze even there. Not in open waters but close to shore, shallows, ports and such.
Being fiberglass I imagine they are careful around even cms of ice.

Thank you, my bad!
The correct would then be "within waving distance of two NATO frigates and the quays where there are often naval vessels"
Your govt is the only one to reply so far (I wrote a letter with q's sunday morning)!

Sailing within waving distance of Danish Copenhagen navy base we have CAFFA.
False flag (up for grabs).
Spent late summer/autumn stealing wheat from Ukraine and earlier in 2025 going to Tartus and West Africa, possibly part of Russia's extensive military logistics there.
Not even sanctioned.
@vesselspotter.bsky.social was right, PEACE turned just to leave her pilot. No hygge tonight.
Adios PEACE.

Sure, but so is going for the open international waters in the more eastern route. And had there been any real ambition at stopping shadow tankers, that would be the wiser move.
Alas, it is not and the owners of PEACE sail on without worry.

And, nothing has happened. Lawless shadow tanker PEACE has spent today leaving Baltic Sea, a good while on Danish territory.
Right now it actually looks like she will anchor up by Skagen (in Denmark) and possibly enjoy some hygge before delivery of oil to India.
Lawless tanker PEACE is deep inside Danish territorial waters, she chose an alt route where the more common one lets her enjoy intnl waters.
~2h north is a Danish frigate steaming south, possibly now with AIS off.
A multinational NATO naval force has departed southern Spain to begin the maritime phase of Exercise STEADFAST DART 26, according to the alliance.

This would be the southern trio of minesweepers steaming north in รresund. The frigate is still on lunch in Copenhagen.

My guess, they are doing something else. But might be something.
02.02.2026 11:22 โ ๐ 59 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 3 ๐ 0There are movements of NATO naval units (minesweepers, frigates, smaller boats) from both Fredrikshavn and Copenhagen, ie N and S of two and heading for 2 good targets for enforcing shadow fleet promises. Likely for other reasons.
Data from AIS and other open sources (partly) confirms movements.
My hunch is that this is not an actual anchor dragging incident.
But I highlight it because it is certainly a set of circumstances that warrant an investigation by relevant authorities.
h/t @vesselspotter.bsky.social for finding the track
bsky.app/profile/vess...
A Liberia flagged freighter turned up in Denmark to pick up a new anchor.
The weeks before she was driving back and forth over an area of Baltic Sea particularly dense with comm cables and pipelines with a pit stop in Ust-Luga, Russia.
Hope someone, eg a cop, found out where the old one is.
Man kanske skulle ringa 114 14. Spela in. Kan bli som Hassan.

Shadow tanker PEACE lacks safety management, insurance.
She is flying a false flag of Timor-Leste where Timor-Leste demands of other states to stop her.
She is lawless. Sanctioned by EU and UK. She is on her fifth delivery of Russian crude to India last 12m.
She is leaving Baltic Sea laden now.
Here she goes, leaving Baltic Sea.
There is frantic activity. German clerks has had the main responsibility for looking away and the staff is exhausted. Denmark took over for now but the Germans are on again tomorrow.
The clerks in UK shiver. They have 11 vessels to ignore. Just the coming hours.
