Dpa reported Friday that the Eventin, believed to be carrying around 99,000 tons of oil from Russia, is en route to Egypt. The ship is believed to belong to the so-called Russian shadow fleet, which is made up of hundreds of aging tankers that are dodging sanctions in order to keep oil revenue flowing into the Russian state budget. The sanctions were imposed after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.There is also no danger for the crew of the tanker, which sails under the flag of Panama. The sailors are on board and will remain there, and an evacuation is not necessary, dpa reported.
