Shadow fleet tanker adrift off Lampedusa
**Title: "Drifting Concerns: Shadow Fleet Tanker 'Jupiter' Off Lampedusa"** On March 13, 2026, the Russian tanker 'Jupiter,' originally sailing from Vysotsk, was found drifting east of Lampedusa at coordinates 35° 34' N 013° 4' E. The vessel's speed had plummeted to just 1.5 knots, raising alarms about a potential propulsion failure or its designation as "Not Under Command." AIS data indicated unusual zigzag patterns, typical of a ship grappling with mechanical difficulties or simply adrift. Compounding the situation, 'Jupiter' is currently under sanctions imposed by the EU, UK (OFSI), and the US (OFAC), enhancing the scrutiny surrounding its movements. Despite claims of being immobile, the tanker has executed a wide loop and was observed heading south at a speed of 2.6 knots, suggesting deliberate maneuvering rather than an ordinary route. The vessel is strategically situated between Malta and the stranded wreck of the 'Arctic Metagaz,' a clear indication of its role in the "Shadow Fleet," a network used to transport oil products beyond the restrictions of Western price caps. The tanker’s close proximity to the protected waters of the Pelagie Islands while operating at such low speeds presents a significant risk of grounding or collision. Mariners in the vicinity are strongly advised to maintain a safe distance from the area. As of now, the situation remains dynamic, with no official updates issued by the Italian government regarding 'Jupiter' and its status.
