Episode Details

A Glasgow-based shipping firm is under fire for managing a Russian-flagged LNG carrier, the Rudolf Samoylovich, currently docked in Denmark for maintenance — a move that lets Russia skirt sanctions while fueling its Arctic gas exports. Though Ukraine has sanctioned the vessel, the UK and EU haven’t, raising alarms that British-linked maritime operations may be quietly propping up Russia’s war machine. With EU restrictions looming in January 2027 and only a handful of European shipyards left to service these Arctic tankers, critics are demanding tighter controls — especially after a Russian tanker was seized in the North Sea, sparking debate over crew detention and enforcement gaps.
