Matros Shevchenko is back in port at Lomé TGO. It is possible that it will carry the cargo of yellowcake uranium to RUS and its return to harbor from being at anchor in the Gulf of Guinea could mean that the trucks carrying the yellowcake arrived at Lomé and it is now being loaded onto the ship.

At the same time, two Russian ships, the Yelnya and the Stoikiy, have been spotted in the Gulf of Guinea. Their presence fuels speculation that the uranium is about to be shipped to Russia, to the detriment of West African security.

Great piece by @cnn.com about PMC's on the shadow fleet in the Baltic Sea. Just goes to show our stories about Russians in umarked uniforms on board the ships is signs of a much broader operation. According to CNN, these people have connections to Moran Security. Full story:

I also totally agree. Could you provide the voyage data of VENZHEN let's say for the last three months? Currently VENZHEN is enr to New Orleans/USA without visiting any port after loitering off Ireland 🧐.

Thanks! Might be worth having a closer look into relations and crewing...

Many thanks! That supports my suspicious 'feeling'. Do I remember it right, that VEZHEN has southeast European ties?

Maybe could somebody help me with the whereabouts of bulk carrier VEZHEN (MT) IMO 9937270 from DEC03 to DEC06? @maritimekiwi.bsky.social @auonsson.bsky.social @vesselspotter.bsky.social
