Golden Ten Data reported on April 16 that, according to a Ukrainian intelligence assessment, several Russian shadow fleet oil tankers are transporting oil using insurance certificates provided by a company described in documents as non-existent. According to documents obtained by the Ukrainian Foreign Intelligence Service, Seaguard P&I, headquartered in Pinneberg, Germany, issued an insurance certificate for the oil tanker “Paz,” which is subject to US, UK, and EU sanctions. The agency's assessment indicated that such a commercial entity does not exist in Germany, and the address listed on both the insurance certificate and the company’s website is a residential apartment building. According to the intelligence assessment, at least five oil tankers obtained insurance certificates from Seaguard. One of these, the oil tanker “Dana,” was seized last month by French authorities on suspicion of evading sanctions against Russia.
