Russian attack on the port of Odesa struck the Panamian flagged Ro-Ro/Passenger ship Cenk T pierside. The ship has been shuttling between Turkey to the anchorage off the Danube and then going dark on AIS before running into Ukranian waters and ports. Not clear if this is a response to the attack on three tankers in the Black Sea conducted by Ukraine or part of the campaign to interdict ports being conducted by both sides in the war.

Photos have appeared online showing the Russian shadow-fleet tanker Virat, which was hit by Ukrainian naval drones. Reports say it is now being towed toward the Turkish coast. Another video has also surfaced showing nighttime naval-drone strikes on the port of Novorossiysk. Ukraine has begun cutting off the sea routes of Russia’s “shadow fleet” in the Black Sea to deprive Moscow of revenue from exporting oil and petroleum products.

The Russian Investigative Committee examines the gas carrier “Arctic Metagas” attacked in the Mediterranean. Investigators have inspected the Russian LNG carrier that was attacked on March 3, 2026, while sailing from Murmansk to China. The ship was hit near Malta by drones and explosive-laden unmanned boats. The attack caused serious damage and a gas detonation. The vessel then drifted for several weeks without a crew. The ship’s “black box” has been seized and is now being decoded.

❗️An SSU Sea Baby naval drone struck the Russian shadow fleet tanker Blue in the Black Sea. The vessel was near temporarily occupied Yalta, within Ukraine's exclusive economic zone. Russian aircraft tried to intercept the drone but failed. The tanker Blue is under sanctions imposed by the European Union, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and Ukraine for transporting Russian oil in circumvention of international sanctions. It is a Suezmax-class tanker, one of the largest types of oceangoing tankers used to transport large volumes of oil and petroleum products. Glory!

🚨 BREAKING: REPORTS: HOUTHIS STRIKE OIL TANKER IN THE RED SEA Reports are emerging that the oil tanker “Chios Lion” has been attacked in the Red Sea. The vessel — a crude oil tanker — was reportedly struck by an explosive unmanned boat launched by Iran-backed Houthi forces, causing damage to the ship. Initial reports indicate: • The vessel was hit by a surface drone/explosive boat • Damage was reported to the ship’s hull • No immediate casualties were confirmed The Houthis have repeatedly targeted commercial shipping in the Red Sea, part of a campaign that has already disrupted global trade routes and raised maritime insurance costs. If confirmed as part of the current escalation, this would represent a major widening of the conflict — bringing global energy shipping directly into the line of fire.
