In June 2024, 3 violations of the EU embargo on seaborne imports of Russian crude oil from the Black Sea were recorded.

They were involved the delivery of crude oil to a transshipment point in the Laconian Gulf off the coasts of Greece and Malta.

Shipowners from China, Turkey and Marshall Islands performed these voyages.

In June 2024, a total of 275,850 tons of Russian crude oil were delivered to the EU in violation of the embargo, compared with 157,327 tons in May 2024.
