The suspected Russian shadow vessel that was stopped off the coast of France is sailing on, shows a service for ship traffic.

Earlier in the week, French police arrested the captain and a crew member. The suspicions are directed against the Benin-flagged oil tanker Boracay, which according to information has been used when several drone flights last week forced Danish airports to close.

The tanker is suspected of belonging to the Russian shadow fleet, which consists of old oil tankers and is used to circumvent the West's sanctions against Russia.
