德国当局没收了这艘悬挂巴拿马国旗的名为Eventin的船只及其价值超过4330万美元的货物。

今年1月，这艘油轮在该国北部海岸被发现漂流。据新闻杂志《明镜周刊》（Spiegel）报道，这艘油轮据说是俄罗斯影子油轮船队的一部分，被莫斯科用来逃避石油制裁。

这艘油轮在波罗的海的吕根岛附近被发现后，被德国扣押。这艘船正从莫斯科驶往埃及。

这艘载有约10万吨原油的油轮在被宣布不适航后被扣留在吕根海岸。



据《明镜周刊》报道，德国决定扣押这艘旧油轮及其货物，而不是允许其驶往埃及。

今年2月，它被欧盟正式指定为影子舰队的一员。

德国官员表示，在俄罗斯石油违反制裁通过波罗的海运输时，德国不会袖手旁观。

当局目前正试图找出如何安全地抽出原油，以及如何处理油轮。

据《明镜周刊》（Spiegel）报道，由于“正在进行的海关措施或目前的安全政策形势”，德国财政部拒绝就没收一事发表评论。

事故发生后，德国外交部长安娜莱娜·贝尔伯克（Annalena Baerbock）指责俄罗斯不仅通过对乌克兰的战争，还通过油轮威胁欧洲安全。

英文原文

German Authorities have confiscated the Panama-flagged ship, called Eventin, and its cargo worth more than $43.3 million.



The tanker was found adrift off its northern coast in January.  It is said to be a part of Russia’s shadow fleet of tankers, used by Moscow to evade oil sanctions, per Spiegel news magazine.



The tanker was secured by Germany after it was found off the Island of Ruegen in the Baltic Sea.  The ship was sailing from Moscow to Egypt.



Carrying around 100,000 tonnes of crude oil, the tanker has been held off the Ruegen coast after it was declared unseaworthy.



Per Der Spiegel, Germany decided to seize both the old tanker and its cargo rather than allow it to sail to Egypt.



It was officially designated as part of the shadow fleet in February by the European Union.



The German officials stated that their country would not stand idle as Russian oil is shipped through the Baltic Sea, violating the sanctions.



Authorities are now trying to figure out how to safely pump out the crude oil and what to do with the tanker.



The German Finance Ministry refused to comment on the confiscation due to “ongoing customs measures or the given security policy situation,’ per Spiegel.



After the accident, the foreign minister of Germany, Annalena Baerbock blamed Russia for threatening European security not only through its war against Ukraine but also with tankers.
