Panama Deals a Blow to Putin's Shadow Fleet

Panama has canceled the registrations of dozens of ships that were sanctioned, potentially delivering a blow to Russian oil exports.

The Panama Maritime Authority is in the process of canceling the registration of 128 ships as part of a clampdown on blacklisted vessels, Bloomberg reported.

The outlet said the move is part of a crackdown on vessels that help Russia circumvent Western sanctions on oil exports via a "shadow fleet" whose links to Moscow are hidden. The sanctions were imposed to punish Russia for its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

UK Friends of Ukraine, which is part of a campaign led by Razom We Stand calling for tougher measures against Russia's fossil fuel exports, told Newsweek it welcomed Panama's move, but the Central American country needed to go further.
