Logistics UK sanctions four LNG carriers as first direct strike on Russia's shadow fleet
The UK has become the first country to directly sanction Russia's LNG shadow fleet, adding four elderly LNG carriers to a broader package of 27 tankers. The move targets vessels acquired from a Middle Eastern shipowner and now used in Russian LNG trades, with Windward estimating Russia's LNG shadow fleet at around 23 vessels. Compliance teams are advised to monitor ownership changes and trading patterns as Western jurisdictions align ahead of EU measures in 2027.
