Transferring oil between ships at sea to hide its origin may continue even after the oil embargo takes effect.

On Aug. 24, Nikkei photographed the transfer of oil from one tanker to another in the Laconian Gulf near southern Greece. One tanker was the Greek-registered Sea Falcon, which left the port of Ust-Luga, an oil shipping terminal in northwestern Russia, on Aug. 4. The other was the Indian-flagged Jag Lok, which departed from a Turkish port of Aliaga on Aug. 4. Small boats surrounded the tankers, assisting with the transfer.

"There is a major risk of accidents causing oil to flow into the sea. Exhaust gas and garbage emitted by oil tankers are also a problem, causing trouble for both the fisheries and tourist industries," said local resident Thalis Ladakakis. The 55-year-old man said the number of tankers has spiked since Russia's invasion of Ukraine began on Feb. 24.

Smart move learnt from Iran

A lesson on how not to play by the West's unilaterally-imposed rules meant to strangle them

When the West sanction Iran, people say Iran will die, Iranians will take to the streets and all hell will break loose. But Iran stood up and emerge stronger than ever. The West is even talking to Iran to get more Iranian oil & gas.
