Malaysian Eastern out of Port Limits (EOPL) anchorage in the South China Sea, beside the approaches to the Singapore Strait.
Massive amount of ships anchored here, with little to no governance or oversight of national or international regulatory compliance enforced.
In particular, the International Marine Pollution (MARPOL) Convention, Annex I, Chapter 8 (Regulations 40โ42).
Oil tankers are required to provide advanced notification to the Coastal State 48 hours before conducting Ship-to-Ship (StS) ops.
Do they? No one knows ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Thousands of Dark Fleet vessels have operated here for for years with total impunity. Many are sanctioned by the US, EU, UK and even the United Nations. All this oil, which includes ๐ฎ๐ท๐ท๐บ๐ป๐ช๐ข๏ธ goes to ๐จ๐ณ
Hundreds of unregulated STS ops per year have been directly observed in Satellite Imagery.
See the recent NYT video with @JonathanEmont for a first had view:

Two major accidents involving Dark Fleet tankers have not had any impact on improved governance to make the situation safer out there. It's just a matter of time until another accident.
@IMOHQ Assembly Resolution 1192 (33), passed in 2023, called for action. Have Coastal States implemented any significant new actions called for by the international community?
See the excellent papre by Prof Beckman, et al, at @NUS_CIL with recommendations for the Coastal States in the International Journal of Marine and Coastal Law:
"Possible Actions by Coastal States to Protect Their Marine Environment from Oil Tankers in the Dark Fleet"

Only the US Blockade on Iranian ports since 13 APR 2026, has made a significant dent in the numbers, as reflected in the May 2026 satellite observations.
When will more real actions be taken to enforce international regulations, prevent an environmental disaster, stop illicit funding going to ๐ฎ๐ท&๐ท๐บ, and protect seafarers and the coastal environment?
