An oil tanker under EU sanctions for carrying Russian oil is being escorted to Tanger Med in Morocco by a Spanish rescue ship, Spain’s Merchant Marine said on Tuesday.
The Chariot Tide, which was sailing under a Mozambique flag and until November was known as the Marabella Sun, has been on an EU sanctions list since November 2024 for helping Russia export oil “while practicing irregular and high-risk shipping practices,” according to the European Union. It has also been sanctioned by the UK, according to the British government.
