Flota din umbră a Rusia: Ce este metoda pavilionului temporar

Convenience flags allow ships to register under foreign flags, evading safety and environmental standards. This practice benefits shipowners financially but raises legal issues, especially for Russian vessels circumventing sanctions. Temporary flagging enables ships to operate under a different flag for 90 days, complicating accountability in case of incidents. The EU has sanctioned numerous vessels in Russia's shadow fleet, yet challenges persist in enforcing regulations. Enhanced cooperation and data sharing among European states are essential to monitor these vessels effectively and address potential security threats.
