Covert Shores – A Russian LNG (liquified natural gas) tanker, Portovyy (IMO 9246621), has sailed out of the Baltic. Unusually, confusingly, her declared destination of Murmansk in Russia’s Arctic. It is unlikely that she is really going there. Although it is too early to declare it a fact, this may be an early indication that Russia is deploying a new tactic to avoid Ukrainian surface drone (USV) threats.
