The oil tanker ‘Eventin’ has been anchored off the coast of Rügen for almost a year and has become a symbol of a complex legal dispute. With around 100,000 tons of oil on board, the ship is at the center of a legal dispute that has both national and European dimensions. The Federal Finance Court in Munich will today announce a decision on the officially ordered confiscation and disposal of the tanker and its cargo.
The case began when the Stralsund main customs office ordered the confiscation of the ship, which the tanker’s owner challenged in court. The Greifswald Finance Court temporarily ruled in favor of the owner and suspended collection. The case is now before the Federal Finance Court, which must decide on the main customs office’s complaint. However, this decision will be just another step in a lengthy legal dispute, as the main proceedings are still pending.
At the same time, there is another legal dispute at EU level. The EU has placed the ‘Eventin’ on a sanctions list that includes ships that are allegedly used to circumvent price caps on Russian oil exports. The ship’s owner, Laliya Shipping Corp. based in the Marshall Islands, has filed a lawsuit against this listing. It argues that the ship never intended to transport sanctioned oil products to the EU and that it entered German waters due to a technical defect.
The ‘Eventin’ suffered an accident at the beginning of the year in which all systems on board failed. The ship drifted in the Baltic Sea, unable to maneuver, until rescue teams could tow it away. These events have further fueled the discussion about the so-called Russian shadow fleet and the role of EU sanctions. The Federal Finance Court’s decision could not only influence the further course of the legal dispute, but also have an impact on European sanctions policy and maritime jurisprudence.
