Sweden boards and releases sanctioned Russian vessel off its coast
Swedish authorities boarded a sanctioned Russian freighter off the country’s west coast after she stopped in Swedish waters due to reported engine trouble, according to media reports. #MarineTraffic data shows that Adler departed Bronka port, Russia, on December 15, bound for Oran, Algeria.
The vessel entered Sweden’s exclusive economic zone on December 19 at 22:49 UTC and, in the early hours of December 20, updated her AIS status to “at anchor.” During this period, multiple law enforcement and Swedish Coast Guard vessels were observed operating nearby. The ro-ro freighter resumed her voyage on December 21 at 22:53 UTC.
Watch the vessel’s playback.

Strait of Hormuz traffic turns defensive
Vessel activity through the Strait of Hormuz declined sharply over 10–12 July, with confirmed crossings down by around 52% week on week, according to #MarineTraffic data.
Traffic also shifted back toward more defensive routing patterns. Use of the Iranian and Dark routes increased, while activity on the IMO and Omani corridors fell to minimal levels, indicating that operators continue to prioritise perceived security over more direct transit options.
Although no new IMO-confirmed physical attacks have been reported since 27 June, renewed US-Iran tensions and recent IRGC warnings continue to weigh on confidence, reinforcing a cautious approach to commercial shipping through the region.
