Greek Naval Drills See Oil Tankers Depart Key Transfer Area
This article is for subscribers only.
Tankers that transfer Russian oil off the southern coast of Greece sailed further out into the Mediterranean after naval exercises were announced in the area where the cargo switching normally takes place.
The activities, which began on May 1, will continue through May 9, the Hellenic Navy Hydrographic Service said in a notice on its website. The activity takes place almost exactly a month after Denmark briefly closed a shipping lane through which Russian oil flows on tankers while similar activity took place.
