Dear Sir/Madam,

The Russian vessel Shtandart (MMSI: 518999255), which has been sailing under the flag of convenience of the Cook Islands since 6 June 2024, disconnected its AIS five hours ago (17 July 2025, 07:39 UTC, 08:39 UK time) after entering Scapa Bay in the Orkney Islands.

The Shtandart is currently en route to Aberdeen, where it is banned from entering due to Russian sanctions, in order to join the Tall Ship Races, in which it is forbidden to participate.

It is suspected that the aim is to make an illegal landing at Scapa Pier, as happened at Clogherhead in Ireland and Inverie in Scotland.

If the disconnection of the AIS and this second illegal stopover in UK waters were to be confirmed, this could result in a ban on the Shtandart in British territorial waters, as occurred in Spain on 27 July 2024.

Please do not hesitate to contact us should you require any further information.

Yours sincerely,

Bernard Grua
