Environmental activists attempted to blockade the Enagás LNG terminal at the Spanish port of Valencia.

The activists were protesting against the import of Russian LNG and sought to block one of the Valencia terminals that receives tankers carrying Russian liquefied natural gas.

They blocked the approach to the terminal with one of their vessels, preventing the *Merchant*—a gas carrier with a deadweight of 73,000 tonnes—from docking.

Additionally, activists approached the gas carrier in small boats and painted "No Gas" and "No to War" on its hull. They refused to comply with authorities' demands to move their vessel and continued the blockade until port security dispersed them.

This is not the first such action aimed at disrupting operations at oil and gas facilities in ports that handle Russian LNG tankers. The activists emphasized their support for stricter sanctions against Russia's "shadow fleet."

❗️Russian Shadow Fleet Tanker Spills Oil Off Oman

The sanctioned Caroline Bezengi tanker, which was carrying Russian oil, is believed to have caused a spill in a marine protected area off the coast of Oman. The suspected spill covered waters in a bay southwest of Al-Qiblia Island. Satellite images from July 2-13 show the pollution as a silvery-gray stain.

Experts from SkyTruth, Conflict and Environment Observatory and Data Desk said the satellite images appeared to indicate an oil spill. Before its last voyage, the Caroline Bezengi loaded Russian oil into Novorossiysk. The vessel last transmitted a signal in the open AIS system on June 11 off the coast of Yemen.

The tanker is under sanctions for transporting Russian fuel. Its owner is listed in shipping databases as Shanghai-based Rentoor Shipmanagement, but Reuters was unable to reach the company for comment.
