The Dark Fleet
In the vast and sometimes unregulated expanse of the world’s oceans, a clandestine network of vessels operates beyond the reach of international law. These ships, commonly referred to as the “dark fleet”, navigate global waters without a legitimate flag state, engaging in activities that range from sanctions evasion to illicit trade, environmental crimes, and human trafficking. Their lack of legal oversight makes them a serious threat to maritime security, environmental protection, and geopolitical stability. Barry explains how and why these ships exist.
