🚢❌Tenerife Port Protests Russian Tankers
Port workers in Tenerife, Canary Islands, have protested against the port authority’s possible plans to receive the Russian tanker MERKURIY, IMO 9326689. They were joined by local environmentalists who are actively opposing the tankers’ arrival.
According to environmental groups, the condition of the Russian shadow fleet is so bad that many of its vessels do not meet environmental standards. Therefore, any entry of Russian tankers into ports carries the risk of an environmental disaster. Activists are calling for a ban on any Russian tankers entering Spanish ports.
Port authorities have assured that the ship will not dock directly in Tenerife, but will instead anchor at sea.

⛴🥷Indian environmentalists protest against the shadow fleet
A series of protests took place in the Indian port of Mumbai. The initiators were local environmental organizations that actively oppose the increase in imports of fossil energy resources
Activists tried to block the entrance to the local port with the slogans: "Let's save nature" "No to fossil fuels", "Our nature is our health". The protesters said that the Indian government has recently been importing an increasing amount of oil and gas, in particular from Russia. This leads to a deterioration of the environmental situation in a number of states.
The protesters also emphasized the poor condition of tankers that enter Indian ports. They are old and constantly suffer accidents that lead to oil leaks in coastal waters. The activists emphasized the need to reduce the import of fossil fuels

⛴❗️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.

⛴❌Just Stop Oil blocks Glasgow terminal for first time in Scotland to protest shadow tankers
The civil resistance campaign Just Stop Oil has taken action in Scotland for the first time, with more than 50 activists blockading an oil terminal in Glasgow.
Shortly before sunrise on Tuesday, about 40 supporters of the civil resistance campaign against fossil fuel production blocked the entrance to the Nustar Clydebank terminal, locking themselves together and climbing on tankers.
They called for a drastic reduction in fossil fuel consumption. They also called for a tougher fight against the shadow fleet that transports Iranian and Russian oil. In their opinion, this fleet not only destroys the environment, but also earns money for waging wars and terrorist acts.

⛴Environmentalists in Crete protest against shadow fleet transfers
Activists from Greek environmental organizations have taken to the streets to protest against the dangerous practices of tankers of the Russian shadow fleet. Up to a hundred people came to the rally with posters against the movement of oil tankers and in support of the decarbonization of nature.
Environmentalists emphasized that recently tankers have increasingly been carrying out the practice of oil transfer, which is extremely dangerous. The essence of this practice is that two tankers approach each other and transfer oil from one ship to another.
Such actions lead to mass accidents and oil spills. Activists cited water analysis data that indicate that tankers often carry out such transfers precisely in Greek waters.
Environmentalists are calling for tighter controls on tanker traffic and inspections of their technical condition. They are also calling for increased arrests of ships that violate environmental regulations.

⛴🥷Protests against the "shadow fleet" have flared up again in Venice.
Despite the rain, between two and three thousand Venetians answered the call of environmental groups and took part in a protest against oil tankers. Protesters are convinced that frequent accidents involving these vessels are leading to an increase in oil slicks and a steady decline in water quality in Venice.
Activists highlight the immense danger posed by the constant voyages of Russian oil tankers in the Mediterranean. These ships are aging, frequently involved in accidents, and engage in ship-to-ship oil transfers on the open sea.
Participants in the protest march demanded tougher action against the tankers, including seizures on the high seas. Environmentalists are also calling for a ban on oil tankers entering Italian waters.

🚢Environmentalists stress the danger of the shadow fleet in the Baltic
The Russian "shadow fleet" is increasingly changing routes in the Baltic Sea, avoiding Swedish waters and passing near the German coast. Environmentalists are calling for tighter controls on ships subject to sanctions due to the risk of an environmental disaster. With such slogans, activists from environmental organizations took to a rally in Rostock, Germany
The participants in the action believe that shipowners are avoiding Swedish waters due to strict control of suspicious ships by law enforcement agencies. Therefore, they called on the government of Chancellor Friedrich Merz to change its approach to Russian ships. According to the organization, the unsatisfactory technical condition of these tankers increases the risk of pollution of the Baltic Sea. In addition, this should be the basis for thorough inspections and make it more difficult for ships subject to sanctions to pass through
