据海事情报公司Windward称，一艘涉嫌运载俄罗斯燃料前往古巴的油轮正在使用欺骗性的“黑色舰队”战术，包括信号操纵和离岸船对船转运。
根据MarineTraffic的数据，名为“海马”（Sea Horse）的船只于周二在美国东海岸被发现，其信号标注为“漫游”状态。
这一行动发生在美国施压古巴燃料供应、扰乱运输并针对向古巴提供石油的第三方国家之际——此前美国实施了新制裁并拘留了委内瑞拉领导人尼古拉斯·马杜罗（Nicolás Maduro）。
1月29日，总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）签署行政命令，宣布针对古巴的国家紧急状态，并授权对向古巴出售或供应石油的国家的进口商品征收关税。
Windward报告称，这艘俄罗斯油轮最初在2月7日将目的地广播为哈瓦那，悬挂“香港国旗”，但随后悄悄改变航向。该公司表示，这艘油轮预计3月初抵达古巴。

该船改变自动识别系统（AIS）信号，声称将在两周内抵达“加勒比海”——该公司称这一模糊的目的地通常被用来掩盖船只的最终停靠港。
即便油轮已经通过直布罗陀海峡，其目的地后来仍被再次切换为直布罗陀，Windward指出这一行为与标准商业航线不符。
Windward的分析还显示，该船通过在塞浦路斯附近海域进行的离岸船对船（STS）转运装载货物。

在装载过程中，油轮的AIS信号被临时关闭——Windward称这是“旨在逃避监管审查的欺骗性海事操作策略”。
Windward的数据还显示，该船在2月8日吃水深度增加，而在此前几天，它刚刚离开一个用于漂浮储存和转运来自黑海港口的俄罗斯中间馏分油货物的区域。
该公司表示，该船在该区域游弋约两周后才离开。
“在领海之外、港口国监督有限的离岸转运已成为石油贸易中规避制裁和监管审查的常见做法。”Windward指出。

该公司补充称，尽管面临美国制裁，AIS操纵、离岸转运和模糊目的地报告已成为维持俄罗斯石油出口的“影子舰队”活动的标准特征。

古巴目前正面临能源危机，自1月初美国采取行动导致主要石油供应国委内瑞拉停止运输后，危机在近几周进一步恶化。据美联社报道，另一个主要供应国墨西哥也暂停了石油运输。

Russian ‘dark fleet’ tanker believed to be delivering oil to Cuba, detected off US coast amid Trump ban
Vessel located after manipulating tracking signals and conducting offshore cargo transfer near Cyprus

A tanker allegedly carrying Russian fuel en route to Cuba is using deceptive “dark fleet” tactics, including signal manipulation and offshore ship-to-ship transfers, according to maritime intelligence firm Windward.
According to MarineTraffic, the vessel, called Sea Horse, was located Tuesday on the U.S. East Coast with its signal, noted as “roaming.”
The move comes as the U.S. pressured Cuba’s fuel supplies, disrupting deliveries and targeting third-party countries that provide oil, following new sanctions and the detention of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.
On Jan. 29, President Donald Trump also signed an executive order declaring a national emergency with respect to Cuba and authorizing tariffs on imports from countries that sell or supply oil there.
Windward reported that the Russian oil tanker initially broadcast Havana as its destination on Feb. 7, and was “Hong Kong-flagged” before quietly changing tack. Windward said the tanker had an expected arrival in Cuba in early March.

The vessel altered its Automatic Identification System (AIS) signal to show it would arrive in the “Caribbean Sea” within two weeks — a vague designation the firm said is often used to hide a ship’s final port of call.
The destination was later switched again to Gibraltar for orders, even after the tanker had already transited the strait, a move Windward described as inconsistent with standard commercial routing.
Windward’s analysis also suggests the vessel loaded its cargo through a ship-to-ship (STS) transfer conducted offshore near Cyprus.

During the loading process, the tanker’s AIS signal was temporarily switched off — “a tactic of deceptive maritime operations designed to avoid regulatory scrutiny,” Windward said.
Windward data also shows the vessel’s draft increased on Feb. 8, several days after leaving an area used for floating storage and transshipment of Russian middle distillate cargoes originating from Black Sea ports.
The tanker had loitered in that zone for roughly two weeks before departing, Windward said.
“Ship-to-ship transfers outside territorial waters, where port-state oversight is limited, have become a common practice in oil trade to circumvent sanctions and regulatory scrutiny,” Windward noted.

The company added that AIS manipulation, offshore transfers and ambiguous destination reporting are now standard features of shadow-fleet activity sustaining Russian oil exports despite any U.S. sanctions.

Cuba is also facing an energy crisis that has worsened in recent weeks after oil shipments from Venezuela, its primary supplier, were halted following U.S. action in early January.
Mexico, another major supplier, also suspended oil shipments, according to The Associated Press.
