๐๐ท๐บ The Russian fueling station Tritonea (formerly LEO II) never runs dry !
A new transfer operation is currently underway with the unsanctionned tanker PEARL LIGHT (IMO 9724685).
PEARL LIGHT hasn't disclosed its final destination.

๐จ๐ท๐บ Ukrainian long-range drones have struck Russia's Ust-Luga oil port, a major Baltic export node for Russian crude run by Transneft.
This is the fourth occurrence within a single week, highlighting a sustained strike tempo against one of the country's key export hubs.
Thanks! Nice snap. ๐

The Russian ๐ป tanker is towed by ASSAMEEDA tug.
In the midst of a global energy crisis, this floating hazard is carrying 60.000 tons of LNG, 450 tons of heavy oil & 250 tons โ of โdiesel. How ironic...

๐จ ๐ซ๐ท ๐ท๐บ This morning, the French Navy seized a tanker from the Russian shadow fleet: the DEYNA (IMO 9299903), sailing under a false flag ๐ฒ๐ฟ.
And like the others she is under ๐ช๐บ๐ฌ๐ง๐บ๐ธ sanctions.
Tanker War II continues.

๐ธ๏ธLeft side 10/03 : nothing
๐ธ๏ธRight side 15/03 : grey ship appears, matches STOIKIY.
In Feb 2026, STOIKIY took part in joint exercises with Iranian Navy. Disappeared when the war broke out.

A helicopter is visible on the destroyer, probable Ka-27.
Severomorsk was then seen 2 days ago near Gibraltar.

๐๐ท๐บSHADOW FLEET REBRANDING
A few days ago, LEO II (IMO 9243318), a tanker we have exposed for her role in Russian "oil-laundering" south of Cyprus, was renamed TRITONEA.
Small victory on this still non-sanctioned ship? Rebranding is meant as a disguise tactic, but her behavior remains identical.
Yes, a week before!

Loading military vehicles, unknown type. Any idea?
She set sail on Feb. 22 for Conakry, Guinea ๐ฌ๐ณ, escorted by ๐ท๐บ landing ship ALEKSANDER SHABALIN.
Reminds us of MYS ZHELANIYA and SEVEROMORSK spotted in Libya.
Interesting! Are they under sanctions? We are monitoring this precise area for several months, looks like a STS spot for Russian oil carriers, some sanctioned, others non-sanctioned.
The queen of the area seems to be the "floating gas station" LEO II.

Interesting pattern alignment of #LEO II (IMO: 9282297) and #KASTOS I (IMO: 9243318) on February 26th 2026 (started around 15:30 UTC, as of 22:30 UTC ongoing contact) with KASTOS I arriving to #Cyprus from #Russia NVS. Possible #STS?
@vesselspotter.bsky.social
@sonarrow.bsky.social
Very probable indeed! We have been investigating LEO II for months, for her role as what appears to be a floating refueling station for shadow tankers. bsky.app/profile/sona...

IS ANYONE GOING TO TAKE ACTION?
Tanker LEO II (IMO 9243318) has been involved in hundreds of ship-to-ship transfers of ๐ท๐บ oil for the past eight months.
She is operating as a floating refueling hub for the shadow fleet (sanctioned or not) in the middle of the Mediterranean.

SEVEROMORSK's last known location was off Sardinia ๐ฎ๐น, when she escorted cargo SPARTA IV.
Russian weapons transport ship SPARTA IV with a likely warship escort spent 2+ days maneuvering above comms cables.
EUAFRICA E1 (under construction), Africa Coast to Europe, one unidentified and SEA-ME-WE 3 + TAGIDE (both decommissioned).
Took place of Portugals coast. Replay: Marinetraffic
