🚢❌In Egypt's Port Said, environmentalists protest against shadow tankers
In one of the largest Egyptian ports, Port Said, representatives of local environmental organizations held a protest against the passage of ships of the Russian shadow fleet. About a hundred activists approached the port area and unfurled posters with the inscriptions "No to fossil fuels", "We are against the destruction of nature", "The shadow fleet is a sponsor of war and terrorism"
Environmentalists stated that the oil ships are very old and often spill oil directly into the Suez Canal. They particularly focused on Russian tankers, which often violate technical requirements and lead to environmental accidents. The activists emphasized the need to tighten inspections of oil tankers and penalties for violating their implementation, in particular, the extension of international sanctions against them.

⛴🥷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

🚢❌Finnish environmental activists against Russian oil
Environmentalists of the Republic of Finland protested to prevent the transit of Russian oil through Finnish ports
For the third day in a row, several dozen activists have been blocking railway tracks in the southwestern regions of the country, preventing the export of energy resources for thermal power plants from port warehouses.
“Our goal and our appeal to the Finnish government is to stop the transit of Russian coal and to refuse to use any Russian fossil fuel: gas, oil, coal. We demand an end to the trade in the blood, in the deaths of Ukrainians,” said the activists of the environmental movement "Elokapina".
At the same time, the law enforcement agencies present at the protest do not intervene in the situation and watch the blocking of freight rail traffic from the side.

⛴🥷Colombo Environmentalists Against Permanent Ships of the Shadow Fleet
In Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka, a protest action was held by local environmentalists who oppose the movement of tankers of the shadow fleet in the territorial waters of the republic. Several dozen activists went to the port with posters "No to the pollution of our ocean", "Down with bloody tankers", "We are against fossil fuels"
Activists emphasized that the permanent ships of tankers cause significant damage to the water area around the island, which affects the quality of life. Oil spills are becoming more frequent, since the ships are usually very old and poorly operated. Such ships lead to an increasing dependence on fossil fuels.
Environmentalists advocate strengthening the fight against the movement of tankers, in particular, strengthening sanctions against them, banning the provision of port services and increasing the number of arrests of ships under sanctions.

⚡️Share of "green" energy in EU consumption exceeds 26% - Eurostat
This pace is still not enough to reach the EU's renewable energy target
The share of "green" energy used by European consumers in 2025 has previously increased to 26.2%. For comparison, in 2024 this figure was 25.2%. Despite the continuous growth, this is not enough - by 2030 the European Union planned to increase the share of renewable energy in final consumption to 42.5%. According to Eurostat data, to achieve the EU-wide target of renewable energy consumption, it must grow by 3.3% every year

🛳South Korea Launches Arctic Expedition With Focus on Safety of Navigation
In the last two years, South Korea has made a big bet on Arctic shipping, rolling out massive investments in its port sector for future Arctic logistics. The recent move in this planning phase is launch of a research campaign, which will see South Korean scientists collect additional data to support safe navigation in the Arctic. This will be the focus of South Korea’s 17th Arctic Ocean expedition, flagged off on Saturday at Gwangyang Port in South Jeolla.
The 83-day Arctic expedition - led by the Korea Polar Research Institute (KOPRI) - will be carried out on board the country’s only research icebreaker, R/V Araon. The vessel is expected to sail through the Bering Sea, the East Siberian Sea, the Chukchi Sea and the central Arctic Ocean.

⛴❌Turkish environmentalists protest against oil transfers by dark tankers
Near Istanbul, a number of representatives of environmental organizations protested against the unsafe practices of tankers in the dark fleet, which often stagnate in the Mediterranean Sea and waters close to Tureccin.
Environmentalists are all in favor of opposing the practice of re-transporting naphtha, as they often send tankers to the dark fleet in order to capture the right supply of naphtha and the route through which to transport the oil. Two tankers are approaching one another and pouring naphtha. This procedure is very dangerous, as it threatens with significant volumes of naphtha.
Activities aim to gain control over the flow of tankers and over the technical strength of ships. In the face of the stench, it is advisable to introduce special police missions to inspect ships passing through Turkish territorial waters. If any violations were detected, law enforcement could arrest the vessels right off the open sea.

🚢Russia's shadow fleet threatens global ecology, according to Canadian environmentalists.
Russia's shadow oil shipping fleet has begun to pose a threat to the ecology of maritime countries. Tankers are increasingly losing control in European waters. Oil spills are also being recorded. Representatives of Canadian environmental organizations are warning about this.
To disguise the origin of its oil, Russia resorts to various tricks, including transshipping oil on the high seas, constantly changing ship owners, and so-called "flag hopping," where ships transfer to different countries' jurisdictions to evade sanctions.
Experts have warned that old vessels pose a huge environmental risk, especially in the Atlantic Ocean. They even pointed to a potential threat in the Sargasso Sea.
Activists are calling for stronger sanctions against the shadow fleet and the introduction of regular inspections oof ships on the high seas, including the arrest of violating tankers.

⛴Japanese ecologists are against the import of Russian natural gas
There was a protest in Tokyo by representatives of environmental organizations against the Japanese purchase of Russian liquefied natural gas. Up to a hundred activists came out with posters. "For pure nature", "You can see the crooked fire."
Activists stated that they are categorically against the country's purchase of liquefied natural gas from Russia. It is important to work from the birthplaces of Sakhalin. Russian LNG will become approximately 9% of the total import of gas to Japan, while the Japanese companies Mitsui and Mitsubishi are taking part in the Sakhalin-2 project.
According to ecologists, it is necessary to cause the edges to become too dry from the fire, which will have a negative impact on the surrounding area. Therefore, activities are encouraged to purchase Russian energy resources and accelerate the growth of new energy sources.
