🚢 Shadow Fleet: The Hidden Ships of Global Trade 🌊 The "shadow fleet" refers to vessels that violate international sanctions, transporting oil and other restricted goods under the radar. These ships operate covertly to bypass sanctions and restrictions enforced by countries. 🛑 How does it work? Fake Flags: Ships often change their registration or sail under flags from countries with lax oversight. Tracker Off Mode: Some vessels turn off their AIS transmitters, going "dark" to avoid satellite tracking. 💸 Why it matters: Such tactics allow countries to maintain exports despite sanctions, creating a vast "gray market" that’s hard to regulate. The shadow fleet is estimated to make up over 10% of global oil trade! #ShadowEconomy #ShadowFleet #GlobalTrade
