Before the Iran war, the screws were turning on the world's shadow fleet – a covert network of old tankers used by the likes of Russia and Iran to bypass oil sanctions. But now, with markets upended by conflict, their trade is booming. An #FTEdit 🧵 on how the shadow fleet is cashing in on chaos 👇

The montage highlights the scale and variety of vessels, suggesting a large “shadow fleet” used to transport oil — often linked to sanctions evasion or opaque shipping networks.

Fragmento del artículo enlazado, donde se puede leer:

"Dos años después, emprendieron una carrera profesional juntos fundando la asesoría Montoro y Asociados, que el ahora ministro abandonó en 2008 para volver a la primera línea política. A partir de entonces la empresa cambió de nombre para evitar vinculaciones y pasó a denominarse Equipo Económico. Ricardo Martínez Rico se quedó al mando junto a Ricardo Montoro, hermano de Cristóbal. En paralelo, ejerce de consejero en Abengoa, una de las empresas más importantes en el campo de las energías renovables."
