🔎🇷🇺 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.

Not the sunrise, but the Russian LNG tanker which was hit by suspected USVs (maritime surface drones) earlier this morning. Reporting only slowly coming out. Photos taken from another merchant vessel. Crew reported rescued by Maltese forces
