France seizes another sanctioned tanker carrying Russian oil

 The French navy has intercepted a sanctioned oil tanker that had sailed from a Russian port – the third known seizure in recent months.

The ship – the Tagor – was seized in the Atlantic “in international waters, with the support of several partners including the United Kingdom, in strict compliance with the law of the sea,” French President Emmanuel Macron posted on X Monday. A crude oil tanker with that name, registered in Madagascar, was shown on ship-tracking sites in the North Atlantic five days ago, having set out from the Russian port of Umba. The Tagor has been sanctioned by the European Union, the UK, and the United States.
