Shadow fleet tanker Hyperion off Venezuela reflagged to Russia on December 24 after a stop in Cartagena, hoping the Russian flag will shield it from US seizure, gCaptain reported. The vessel recently carried oil from Murmansk to Venezuela.

🛳️🇻🇪 A second case of a “shadow fleet” tanker being registered under the Russian flag has been recorded in the waters near Venezuela.

The Hyperion vessel has changed its registration to Russian, in an attempt to avoid possible arrest by the US, gCaptain reports.

1/x So, in the last week I witnessed a bit of an ugly discussion on X between John Konrad of GCaptain and others about the status of merchant mariners during wartime. This has spurred me on to make a series of threads about the merchant navy during WW2 and I'm going to start with a statue.
