Vessel:descriptionrussia has created its own shadow tanker fleet, mostly made up of old tankers, many of which have experience in operating under sanctions imposed on regimes such as Iran.

In May 2022, UANI predicted that russia would use a 'ghost armada' to ensure that excess profits from oil exports flow to its Chinese partner, in particular.ua_war_sanctionsua-ws-661d8095322c38e086282b7395b8141aa8bdd1fa
