Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Irkutsk

The Ukrainian Foreign Intelligence Service has revealed a list of vessels engaged in the exportation of coking coal from temporarily occupied Ukrainian regions, specifically through the port of Mariupol. Notably, the 'Alfa M' is highlighted as one of the ships involved in this operation, which is part of Russia's systematic strategy to exploit these territories, contravening international law and warfare regulations. These identified vessels have collectively exported approximately 120,000 tons of coal, with individual contributions including 'Alfa M' at around 40,000 tons, 'Alfa 1' over 20,000 tons, 'Alpha Hermes' exceeding 5,000 tons, 'Victoria K' surpassing 20,000 tons, and 'Victoria V' with more than 35,000 tons. This coal holds substantial economic value, sufficient to produce thousands of tons of steel. By utilizing resources from occupied Ukrainian areas, Russia is undermining international humanitarian law, specifically the 1907 Hague Convention, which asserts that the resources of occupied regions cannot be exploited for the benefit of the occupier without the consent of the rightful authority.
