Sweden to hand over the Caffa ship from Russia's shadow fleet to Ukraine

Sweden will hand over the cargo ship Caffa from Russia's so-called shadow fleet, which it detained in March off its southern coast and subsequently confiscated, to Ukraine. The vessel is suspected of transporting grain stolen from Ukrainian territories occupied by Russia. aktuality.sk ↗

According to available information, the ship Caffa was sailing under the Guinean flag and was headed for St. Petersburg. It was also on Ukraine's sanctions list. The Swedish Coast Guard reported its detention back in March, and the case is now moving into the phase of handover to Ukrainian authorities. aktuality.sk ↗

Kyiv is to take over the vessel for the purposes of investigating war crimes. Ukraine has long claimed that Russia exports agricultural products from occupied areas without the consent of their owners, using ships linked to shadow transport structures for this purpose. SITA ↗

The Caffa case may prove significant primarily because it combines the sanctions regime, maritime control, and the investigation of property damage caused during the war. Further developments will depend on the Ukrainian investigation and on what evidence can be obtained after the vessel is taken over. ekonomika.pravda.sk ↗
