"The Arctic Metagaz, a tanker linked to Russia's 'shadow fleet', is drifting unmanned in the Mediterranean. The vessel sustained damage in a suspected Ukrainian drone attack near Malta in March. It is carrying approximately 60,000 tonnes of LNG and fuel, posing a significant environmental threat to coastal nations like Libya."
