S. 2904: SHADOW Fleet Sanctions Act of 2025
Imposes targeted sanctions on Russia's so-called 'shadow fleet', the network of tankers and shipping companies that covertly transport Russian oil in violation of Western price caps and sanctions. Targets vessel owners, operators, insurers, and port operators who facilitate shadow fleet operations.
Why it matters
Russia earns billions from its shadow fleet circumventing Western oil sanctions. This bill targets the tankers, insurers, and port operators that keep Russian oil money flowing to fund the war against Ukraine.
