Troubled Waters: The Voyage of the Boracay
The Boracay, a tanker implicated in Russia's 'shadow fleet' activities, departed from France despite ongoing investigations. French authorities have been silent on the circumstances of its departure. Initially bound for India's Vadinar port, its current destination is unknown amidst concerns over its possible involvement in international incidents.
The tanker Boracay, suspected of being part of Russia's 'shadow fleet,' has left its anchorage off the coast of western France. This move comes as the vessel faces both European sanctions and an ongoing investigation by French authorities.
The reasons behind its departure remain unclear, especially after French Navy commandos conducted a raid over the weekend. French maritime authorities and the Brest prosecutor's office, focused on the ship's nationality, have declined to comment.
Originally destined for Vadinar in India, the tanker is now a subject of international scrutiny. French President Emmanuel Macron recently emphasized Europe's strategy to cut off oil revenues bolstering Russia's war efforts, while also raising concerns about the vessel's potential involvement in earlier drone incidents near Denmark.
