MEPs are advocating for comprehensive measures to combat Russia's so-called 'phantom fleet,' which operates outdated ships to circumvent Western sanctions on fossil fuel imports.
The resolution emphasizes the need for stronger inspections by utilizing drones and satellites, alongside penalties for vessels lacking the necessary insurance in European waters.
Russian ships, many over 20 years old, are often uninsured and sail under foreign flags to evade sanctions, with major traffic directed towards India, China, and Turkey.
The European Parliament's push for a complete ban on Russian fossil fuel imports marks a significant step in limiting Moscow's revenue from oil exports amid the ongoing war in Ukraine.
