North Korean tankers have been spotted at Russia’s Vostochny Port, indicating a rise in brazen oil product smuggling activities. In addition, oil tankers carrying Russian Urals crude are navigating through the Suez Canal and the Red Sea to reach Asia, according to Kpler. Amidst US sanctions, the first Russian oil tanker attempted a secret cargo transfer to another ship near Singapore. The SCF Primorye is reported to have made the transfer east of Singapore, an area commonly used for such switches.
