According to Starboard Maritime News, at least 26 vessels have changed their registration to Russia since the beginning of last month, most of which occurred after the US seizure of the supertanker Skipper off the Venezuelan coast on December 10th. This represents a significant increase compared to the six vessels seized in November and the 14 vessels seized in the previous five months. Of the nearly 1,500 tankers carrying oil from Russia, Iran, and Venezuela, approximately 13% are now registered in Russia, with the remainder typically flying the flags of smaller nations such as Panama, Guinea, and Comoros. Using false flags is also a common tactic for ghost fleets, allowing them to circumvent regulations while maintaining a semblance of legitimacy. Charlie Brown, a senior advisor at the Coalition Against Irans Nuclear Weapons, which tracks ghost fleets, points out that the recent trend of changing registration to Russia indicates that ship owners are considering Moscows potential political asylum when other countries are unwilling to provide protection.Bank of Japan: The February 26 meeting on market operations will discuss recent market developments, Bank of Japan operations, liquidity and functionality of the Japanese government bond market, and the money market.On January 14th, the highest 7-day annualized yield of Tencent Wealth Managements "Current Account +" was 1.4510%, and the lowest was 0.8860%.
