Dude, you are the one that is dancing around the issue.

How would I sue you if you are your own insurer??

Say if you have a Russian ship, you do an Ever Given and grounded in the Suze and I am Suze Canal operation authority. If you don't pay, I will have to go after your insurer. Which in this case, is also in Russia. There existed something called "conflict of Interest" which mean your own court cannot be judging a case for your own country, set aside the "fairness and balance issue" that Russia MAY or MAY NOT have. I will never receive the damage even if I won that case, in this case is Russia, because if you default on a judgement order, THERE ARE PRETTY MUCH NOTHING I CAN DO.



How this can hurt Russia? Most dock won't even let you come close if you don't have a valid P&I, and unless you want to send replenishment ship every 15 days to provide for your Russian Cargo ship for replenishment, once your cargo ship runs out provision like food, water and fuel, IT WON'T MOVE. And you will need to dock to replenish it. Your cargo ship doesn't run on nuclear power, your crew don't run on nuclear power, both ship and crew needed refuel, and you can only do it while you dock. And if you can't dock Because you don't have P&I, your ship is limited to about 10-15 days range from Russia. Which is nothing. You are talking about 2-300 nautical mile range.

You can't even go to North Korea from Russia because you will need to dock at either Japan or China, both won't let you do it if you don't have P&I. So does Turkey, (EU are already banned) and Egypt, which mean your ship will get stuck in between.

Again, exactly how dumb are you??

The sanctions are already getting busted before they even came to effect. But of coursse you can continue believing in your fairy tale.

"The monthly average of both so-called dark activities and ship-to-ship operations in the south Atlantic doubled in the September to November period compared with the previous three months, according to an analysis of movements by the maritime intelligence company Windward. There were around 35 incidents of ‘dark activity’ in September, nearly 50 in October and numbers dipped to just over 40 in November.

Tankers able to hide any Russian links, by illicit transfers mid-ocean, would hope to avoid any price attestation of their cargo.

Ami Daniel, the chief executive of Windward, said Russia had been learning from Iran and North Korea over the past six months on how to circumvent sanctions.

He said: “We are seeing a growing cycle of learning and adoption of Russian fleet and Russian connected parties.”

The spike in dark activity in the south Atlantic had followed a smaller, and since reversed, period of activity in the north Atlantic, between May and August, he said.

Lloyd’s List then published a report at the end of July suggesting that five Chinese-owned ships were being used to transfer Russian oil at a hub about 860 nautical miles west of Portugal’s coast.

“Immediately we see a change of pattern,” said Daniel. “That’s when we see the uptick in the south Atlantic. These are known methods to avoid sanctions.”

The market for old oil tankers is booming, and it's all down to efforts by Western nations to curb trade in Russian crude.

Russia Seeks to Boost Recognition of its Shipping Insurance to Dodge Sanctions​

November 30, 2022

Moscow is seeking to bolster the recognition of Russian maritime cargo insurance to allow it to ship oil and related products abroad in the face of Western sanctions, a government official was quoted as saying on Tuesday.

Western sanctions imposed in response to Russia’s military campaign in Ukraine have restricted Russia’s ability to secure costly liability insurance for its ships – a segment requiring financial heft and dominated by European reinsurers, in which Russia has little experience or capacity.

Deputy Transport Minister Alexander Poshivay, speaking at a China-Russia energy conference in Moscow, acknowledged the challenges faced by Russian shippers.

In addition to a lack of access to insurance services traditionally provided by European and U.S. companies, they had also had to deal with non-recognition of certificates issued by Russian insurers and the Russian National Reinsurance Company because Lloyd’s syndicates had declared Russian waters a war risk zone.


European Union and Group of Seven governments have been trying to agree on a price cap for Russian seaborne crude oil – which represents some 70%-85% of Russia’s crude exports – to restrict Moscow’s ability to finance its campaign in Ukraine.


The main tool to enforce it would be prohibiting shipping, insurance and re-insurance companies from handling cargoes of Russian crude around the globe, unless they had been sold for less than the cap set by the G7 and its allies.


Poshivay said Russian state-flagged vessels now being denied insurance by Western companies were being insured with Russian insurance companies and reinsured with the Russian National Reinsurance Company, according to Interfax.

The news agency quoted him as saying that Turkey recognized Russian insurance of maritime cargo, and that India and China recognized most Russian insurance, but not all.


“The issue (of recognition of Russian insurance) is to be worked out with the whole world,” Poshivay said, adding that the specific conditions “are determined by intergovernmental agreements.”


No comment was immediately available from Turkish, Indian or Chinese authorities. However, a source at a Turkish shipping company said Turkish authorities had not given any instructions or unofficial guidance on recognizing Russian insurance.


Poshivay suggested that China for one should recognize the certificates issued by Russian maritime insurance and reinsurance companies as guarantees of risk coverage.


He said that in the first nine months of this year, the Russian Federation had increased seaborne exports of hydrocarbons to China by 25%, to 87 million tonnes.

comparable to marauding settlers with arms and tanks who are backed by Western empire in order to uproot and confiscate the lands and homes of the indigenous people in the Holy Land?

Actually we where there a few thousands years earlier , do consult your Quran.

It is also prophesized there , that before the end of days , the children of Israel will return to the promised land. Now you complain that your own prophecies are fulfilled. Strange.

Arabs are not the indigenous people to the land of Israel. They immigrated to the land of Israel from neighboring Arab countries.

This does not mean of course that they do not deserve a state.

But they blew that chance , when they refused the state offered to them in 1948 , and rejected a two states solution . Which was the only logical and just solution at that time.

Instead they decided to go to war , the bitter fruits of this decision we eat till this day.

This was already proven to be a Russian S300 as geolocated to a Russian held area back then.

You did not mention other prophecies of Quran about "children of Israel" , facts and realities mentioned by Quran about you, your past activities and your future mentioned by Quran and Hadith.
I bet you know each of those, don't you?
And white settlers are real children of Israel? That's another debate. So far they are just migrants from different European and other countries who love to genocide local Palestinians and have pride in grabbing and stealing their lands and homes.

Actually we where there a few thousands years earlier , do consult your Quran.

It is also prophesized there , that before the end of days , the children of Israel will return to the promised land. Now you complain that your own prophecies are fulfilled. Strange.

A new big Russian attack on the electricity grid of Ukraine..

One shot

Some people died ? Sad. That is an oppressive government. So thanks for the background. Yes, please do post the vids especially from February this year on though I wonder how you can access RT vids.

Well, in the evil oppressive west every man and women can protest. Even racists, rightists, leftists, facists, gays, environmentalists, idiots including the “kids of last generation”. The latter love to nail their hands on streets. They stop people from going to work.

Try do that in Putin’s paradise. If you land in gulags and return in once piece alive after years then you are a lucky person.

Your choice

However my friend western freedom has limits.

RT is a cheap russian propaganda broadcaster. And as such it is forbidden.

Everything is tolerable but not cheap foreign propaganda.

Well, in the evil oppressive west every man and women can protest.

Yes, they have the right to protest, and get killed by the police, or jailed under some "traitor to the nation" law.

Even racists, rightists, leftists, facists, gays, environmentalists, idiots including the “kids of last generation”. The latter love to nail their hands on streets. They stop people from going to work.

Yes, they do that but irrational citizens who align with the Capitalist and NATO-imperialist government help the government in throwing them off the road. These protesters are protesting for the current and future of every citizen of France, Europe and world but those irrational other citizens just, as you said, "want to go to work" which their parents did and these people's children will and so will their children. A never-ending cycle of dog-eat-dog Capitalism where people must "pay the bills" for even basic food, water, housing, electricity, telecom, healthcare, education, public transport etc, things that in Communist and Socialist societies are provided by the system for free. The below incident I came to know from Indian TV news as being a protest by workers who want raise in their wages because France's socio-economic system is beset with raised costs in everything and these workers' salaries make life difficult :

Furious Parisians forcefully remove disruptive climate activist

France has been crippled with road blockades for months by climate activists who have drawn inspiration from Just Stop Oil protesters' modus operandi.

During the Sri Lanka crisis some months ago there was a superb tweet by a Sri Lankan shown on the fine Indian TV news show Prime Time with Ravish which is no longer there because its channel, NDTV, has been taken over by Modi's Capitalist patron Adani so Ravish has left NDTV ( we must admire Ravish's ideological committment ). The tweet said that in Sri Lanka two working class people are fighting each other while the rich class remains unworried and benefits from the intra-working-class fight. That is what happened in the scene in France above.

Try do that in Putin’s paradise. If you land in gulags and return in once piece alive after years then you are a lucky person.

Your choice

Are there gulags in Russia anymore ? And in USSR there were to correct people. I see what happens in India every day and I wonder if these irrational, sociopathic and criminal people were in the USSR they would be rightfully sent to a gulag to take time to reflect and reform.

However my friend western freedom has limits.

Oho ! How is "Western freedom limits" different from "Putin's oppression of citizens" ?

I was on a big Western platform until a month ago and I used to talk about Communism, Capitalism, Indian corporate immorality, dog attacks and yes, Ukraine and Israel. I think for these two last things I was banned multiple times and I recreated new accounts and I was banned, and then I simply abandoned that platform. So where went this hyped up "Freedom of expression and democracy" that NATO thumps up in the United Nations Terrorist Council again and again and again ?

RT is a cheap russian propaganda broadcaster. And as such it is forbidden.

Everything is tolerable but not cheap foreign propaganda.

1. By using the word "cheap" you are propagating an influence of Capitalist brainwashing.

2. How is RT unacceptable to you but BBC, Daily Fail, Yahoo News etc are not ?

You can feel how he is panicking on the prospect Patriots are delivered to Ukraine. He tries badmouthing everything. Training would take too long too late. Patriots missiles are useless against mighty Russia missiles anyway. Ukraine would lose badly. Bla bla bla.

Yes its a full on panic the he starts talking about patriots. He is very very worried about the patriots. And he should be.
