Sanctioned Russian Tanker's Oil Reaches Oman Two Months After Grounding

Oil from the grounded Russian tanker Caroline Bezengi reached Oman's coast on August 12, over two months after it ran aground carrying roughly 800,000 barrels of crude bound for Asian markets. The EU-sanctioned vessel belongs to Russia's "shadow fleet" — tankers used to bypass Western restrictions. The 400-square-kilometer spill may worsen as murky ownership complicates salvage efforts.
