Note

As stated by the European Commission, a total of 632 vessels in Russia's shadow fleet are listed by the EU following the 20th sanctions package (adopted 23 April 2026; it added 46 and delisted 11), subject to port-access and maritime-service bans. Refreshed 5 June 2026 from the prior 557 (19th package) to 632 (20th package) — same metric and scope. A cumulative source-reported count as of that package; the figure may rise with new packages. A sanctions-evasion / enforcement indicator, manually maintained static value, not real-time. Not legal or compliance advice.
