Germany tows Russian shadow fleet tanker carrying 100,000 tonnes of oil – media

The tanker Eventin, which suffered an accident in the Baltic Sea near the German island of Rügen, is being towed east by three tugboats for safety reasons.

Source : spokesperson for Germany's Central Command for Maritime Emergencies told DW, as reported by European Pravda

Details : The spokesperson said such a manoeuvre will ensure more open sea space to the south, in case something unexpected happens.

Eventin, carrying 100,000 tonnes of oil, had been drifting in the Baltic Sea since Friday evening, 10 January, due to a power outage on board, which left the ship unable to manoeuvre.

Eventin goes under the Panamanian flag, but according to the Greenpeace international environmental organisation, it is one of the ships from the so-called Russian shadow fleet, which Moscow uses to sell oil in violation of embargoes.

The tanker, carrying 99,000 tonnes of oil, had been drifting near Germany’s coast after the accident. Germany sent a multipurpose vessel and a tugboat for its evacuation.

It is currently unclear where exactly Eventin will be towed, but the Central Command for Maritime Emergencies in Germany emphasised that the ship has no external damage and does not pose an environmental threat.

Background : 

  • In October 2024, a small oil tanker named Annika, with 640 tonnes of oil, caught fire less than five kilometres from the shore while en route from Germany’s Rostock to Travemünde.
  • Finland reported technical defects in a tanker suspected of damaging an underwater power line and several communication cables in the Gulf of Finland and is considered to be part of the shadow fleet.
