Spain Escorts EU‑Sanctioned Shadow Tanker Bound for Morocco
TL;DR Summary
An EU‑sanctioned shadow fleet tanker, the Chariot Tide (formerly Marabella Sun) flying a Mozambican flag, was escorted by a Spanish rescue vessel to the Moroccan port of Tangier Med after its engine broke down in international waters inside Spain’s search‑and‑rescue zone. The ship has been under EU sanctions since December 2024 for transporting Russian oil and using irregular high‑risk shipping practices, reflecting broader European pressure on Moscow’s aging fleet amid security and environmental concerns.
