Every system is a sensor if you hold it right.

Russia is running GPS-jamming machines in St Petersburg and Kaliningrad, affecting aviation and sometimes shipping around Baltic Sea.

Some of my most appreciated work has been localizing these machines in time, space and volume.

Here's a rundown of previous geo-work, reversed chronological order.
There are about two dozens stateless shadow tankers in European waters at the moment.

All are fair game for any navy, anywhere.

A bit amazing that we have highly automated electronic/biometric checks for each person moving around, but whole tens of millions $ worth tankers can be moved with a few fantasy stamps on a piece of paper.

Russian oil logistics - as safe in Black Sea as in Baltic Sea.

Thanks govt and allies!
Russian and Russia-linked tankers are now hugging Turkey's Black Sea coast to dodge Ukrainian naval drone strikes in open waters.

Shadow tanker PEACE lacks safety management, insurance.

She is flying a false flag of Timor-Leste where Timor-Leste demands of other states to stop her.

She is lawless. Sanctioned by EU and UK. She is on her fifth delivery of Russian crude to India last 12m.

She is leaving Baltic Sea laden now.

ANNA MARIA (IMO: 9407469) got a new anchor and chain delivered in Kalundborg, Denmark after port-call in Ust-Luga, Russia.

No information where she lost her anchor and chain.

A Norwegian home owner was tricked into installing highly advanced surveillance cameras pointed at Northern Europe's only LNG-plant, Melkøya.

The cameras have been running 24/7 and sent data to an Italian company now under investigatin. Cameras include advanced thermal sensors.

Danish authorities warn of a new GPS-jam area by Gedser Reef.

Area is home to one of the densest shipping choke points globally. Numerous large ships need not avoid only each other but several wind farms and a large reef.

Without GPS the risk of collision and environmental catastrophe increases.

Shadow tanker BARQ IMO 9321691 is about to enter Baltic Sea, passing a Swedish Coast Guard vessel, in about 2 hours.

She is the first shadow tanker to enter since the letter "closing Baltic Sea" was published 4 days ago.

Contrary to many missed opportunities this one is not immediately lawless.

One of the best accounts out there for these topics. Brilliantly communicated.
4 days ago Baltic States + UK wrote a letter interpreted as "Baltic Sea closing for shadow fleet".

No sanctioned tanker has arrived since (unusual*) but coming 24-36h the claim will get its first test with 5 sanctioned tankers inbound.

UK has acted against Russian freighter SINEGORSK on suspicions of cable sabotage.

Royal Navy chased her away after she anchored close to several cross-Atlantic communication cables.

🔺Baltic Sea activity - Breaking!

It is likely Russian Navy Baltic Fleet forces commenced ASuW/ASW exercise activity in the south/central Baltic Sea, 29 January 2026 (for next 1-7 days).

⚠️Exercise activity likely to feature regional, & realistic possibility of strategic, air support.

Head of MI6 signals change from data collection to war-time active measures against Russia.

What Russia does to the West MI6 will do back. And in the next breath mention WWII era SOE, whose mission was violent operations including sabotage and assassinations behind German lines.

Last 24h seven sanctioned tankers have left Baltic Sea. None has entered.

Too early for firm conclusions (lack data) but from last weeks replay and memory this might be highly unusual.

Replays from marinetraffic.com

@pa.nton.cx run some queries?

US is launching investment funds for kids, named TrumpAccounts. Seems each kid will get $1000 at birth and can use it at 18 for 'qualified expenses". Seems someone else ™️ controls it til then.

Acc to site if you actively participate and add $250/y it will affect the outcome negatively.
