A freighter has seemingly run over a small boat with a family of four in Swedens west coast archipelago. Dusk, rain and bad visibility. The Russian-crewed, Norwegian-owned suspect ship has been detained. Mother and a minor kid is missing while the father + minor is in hospital.

Russian shadow tanker CAROLINE BEZENGI is breaking up in a nature reserve of the Omani coast. All the beneficiaries whose coasts she passed last year thanks their lucky stars. Odds are against them though, there are about another 1000-1500 running around the world. Tick, tock.

French surveillance ship Dupuy de Lôme (A759) entered Baltic Sea a week ago.

"FLEET STOP" Ukraine forces say and sat imagery concurs. Crimean vessel logistics have been completely devoured by Ukraine's drone campaign 'MoLoChKa' with both north and south anchorages of Kerch Strait virtually erased, by drone attack or by fleeing.

"The jamming and spoofing in Baltic Sea is now more or less continuous and affects both flight and naval safety." Swedish Transport Agency Glad to hear official institutions acknowledging these facts. Especially the safety aspect, which took institutions a few good years to get on board with.

North Kerch strait logistics: 2% operating, 1% burning, 95% gone. On sat imagery from Thursday 16th we can find one burning ship, one drifting, a few anchored and maybe most impressive: two ferries operating a presumably last trickle of transportation across the strait. Not likely to last.

Russian 'research' ship AKADEMIK NIKOLAY SHRAKOV 8211174 had an unfortunate 4 hour engine breakdown just south of port of Ystad, Swedish territory. They were offered assistance from both Navy and Coast Guard, but declined. Left Kaliningrad yesterday. Ie, Russian navy stopped to spy, in Sweden.

My assessment that Kerch Strait north ship anchorage (Crimea logistics) is done for now, stands. After incessant hammering by Ukraine drone forces the latest sat imagery (July 13th) show only 6 ships left, from about 50-90 normally. Ukraine has claimed 116 ships hit.
