A protest action by participants of environmental organizations against the movement of the shadow fleet was held in the port of Karachi. Up to a hundred participants came out with slogans "No to ocean pollution", "We will not allow water to be poisoned".

Participants of the action stated that according to their data, more and more accidents of oil tankers have been recorded in the territorial waters of Pakistan recently. They attribute this to the increase in the number of trips of tankers of the Russian shadow fleet, which are actively transporting oil to Indian oil refineries.

Activists are calling for increased technical control of oil tankers passing near Pakistan and the arrest of ships that violate the law.

🛢⚒️Eni and TotalEnergies Give Green Light for Cyprus' Cronos Gas Project

Eni and TotalEnergies have taken a final investment decision (FID) on the Cronos gas project off the coast of Cyprus, a unique trans-boundary subsea tieback crossing two EEZs - and they plan to develop it by 2028.

Cronos is Eni's first project in Cypriot waters to get the green light for production. It has an estimated three trillion feet of gas, and is expected to reach a rate of production of about 500 million standard cubic feet per day.

The development plan calls for four subsea wells at a location about 90 nm to the southwest of Cyprus. The wells will connect by pipeline to the nearby Zohr field, on the Egyptian side of the EEZ boundary, where the gas will be piped southwards for processing and liquefaction at the Damietta LNG terminal.
