Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Pate

On June 22, 2026, the Russian-flagged 'Pate', part of the notorious 'shadow fleet' and sailing under the banner of Sierra Leone, encountered significant navigation anomalies upon entering the Baltic Sea. The vessel's journey was marked by erratic movements and unexpected deviations in its course. Initial reports suggest that these irregularities could stem from electronic interference or spoofing of satellite navigation signals, a phenomenon frequently observed near Russia's Kaliningrad region. Typically, vessels' navigation systems realign once they navigate away from such disrupted zones; however, the 'Pate' faced prolonged issues, with indications that its systems remained unreliable well into the afternoon of June 23. This tanker is known for facilitating the export of Russian oil and petroleum products, strategically bypassing restrictions established by the G7 and allied nations. It has been identified as a key player in transporting supplies from Baltic Sea ports, often turning off its AIS and manipulating navigational systems in proximity to the Ust-Luga port. Environmental organization Greenpeace has also categorized the 'Pate' within the shadow fleet, further underscoring its controversial operations.
