The Swedish Supreme Court on Aug. 5 upheld a decision allowing the seizure and transfer of a Russian shadow fleet vessel to Ukraine. The cargo vessel Caffa, detained by Swedish authorities in the Baltic Sea, was allegedly transporting grain stolen from Russian-occupied territories in Ukraine. The decision marks the first time a foreign court has ordered the handover of a Russian ship tied to stolen Ukrainian grain. A joint EU force has also intercepted several shadow fleet tankers in the Mediterranean Sea. France, Belgium, the U.K, and other countries have also boarded suspected shadow fleet vessels that entered their territorial waters.
