      This campaign against the shadow fleet has been growing.

      Plus you know there is oil shortages so tankers that countries can legally seize are now just that much more valuable.

      About time we started to actually do something about this phantom fleet.

      However we need to massively increase spending on our navy to ensure we’re able to do basic shit such as this.

      What do they mean by „British waters“? Territorial waters are limited to 12 nautical miles from the coast which would mean this is only going to be an issue for vessels transiting through the Straits of Dovers, where British and French waters meet. There are Exclusive Economic Zones that extend much farther, but they’re not the same as territorial waters, and are only really relevant to resource extraction (fishing, oil, gas, etc.) and don’t affect transiting vessels.
