The Swedish government has decided to draw the net tighter around vessels sailing under international flags as part of its action targeting Russia’s so-called ‘shadow fleet’.

As disclosed, the measures, set to enter force from July 1, 2025 , tighten control of foreign ships by requiring them to provide insurance information as a way to counter the operations of the ‘dark fleet’. Simultaneously, the government aims to improve the safety of its maritime sector and to protect the marine environment.
