Coastguard stops ship linked to Russia’s shadow fleet over stolen grain

A cargo ship suspected of being part of Russia’s “shadow fleet,” the Caffa, was boarded by the Swedish Coast Guard in the Baltic Sea. The crew is predominantly Russian, and the vessel is on Ukraine’s sanctions list, allegedly sailing under a false Guinean flag. Authorities have raised concerns about its seaworthiness, prompting a criminal investigation. Sweden is intensifying insurance checks on foreign ships to monitor this fleet, which helps Russia circumvent sanctions.
