The Shadow Fleet Expert Group states “are committed to further addressing the risks posed by the “shadow fleet” to the environment, maritime safety and security, the integrity of international maritime trade, critical underwater infrastructure and compliance with maritime laws and standards,” they said, referring to Russia’s use of ships flying flags of convenience and other legally dubious means in an effort to avoid sanctions.
“We remain committed to holding those who operate the “shadow fleet” accountable for supporting Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine,” ths joint statement said.
The expert group will therefore continue to meet to take concrete measures, such as adding vessels to the sanctions list, as well as what was termed “jointly strengthening outreach activities targeting relevant flag states and key actors”.
