Source details
How Warconomy uses this source
Official EU reporting on shadow-fleet vessel listings under successive Russia sanctions packages. As stated for the 20th package (adopted 23 April 2026), a total of 557 + net additions brings the cumulative list to 632 vessels in Russia's shadow fleet listed by the EU (subject to port-access and maritime-service bans; the 20th package added 46 and delisted 11). A cumulative count as of a stated package, manually transcribed as a static fixture; not real-time and may rise with new packages. Re-reviewed 5 June 2026 against the 20th package. Not legal or compliance advice.
