Alert! Potential illegal stopover of Russian ship « Shtandart » at Scapa Pier, Orkney Islands, 17 july 2025
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. 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.
