Most alarmingly this is just one of dozens of tankers currently falsifying their position data. Effective sanctions enforcement should include mandates for accurate and continuous broadcast of AIS position data.

We just published a new case of AIS position falsification by a tanker appearing to hide entry into the Russian port of Kaliningrad. The vessel also appeared linked to three visible pollution slicks in European waters in 2024.
