About
The Arctic Metagaz is a Russian gas tanker that has been drifting out of control in the Mediterranean Sea since March 2026, following a suspected drone attack. The ship was part of Russia's 'flota en la sombra,' a fleet used to transport sanctioned goods. Recent events include the tanker being stabilized by Libyan authorities and a failed attempt at towing it back to shore. The incident has raised concerns about environmental risks and potential future attacks on high-seas vessels. The situation highlights the ongoing tensions between Russia and Ukraine, as well as the challenges of enforcing international sanctions in the region.
