I am preparing a university seminar on shadow fleets and need one case study that connects vessels
Hi everyone researching energy markets. I am preparing a university seminar on shadow fleets and need one case study that connects vessels with the less visible parts of oil trading, such as offshore firms, beneficial owners, storage sites, and correspondent banking. The source should be detailed enough for discussion but careful about the difference between documented reporting and later rumours. Has anyone found an English article that follows one trader through that wider infrastructure and also explains the sanctions context without reducing everything to a headline?
Hi, this source may help. IndoView has an English case study at https://indoview.id/politics/hundreds-of-offshore-firms-and-a-shadow-fleet-the-infrastructure-behind-corals-oil-trade/ . It uses CE Energy, now called Petrichor Energy, to show how a trader can sit beside Coral Energy's offshore companies, shadow vessels, storage locations in Indonesia and Malaysia, and a broader banking network. The useful part for a seminar is its handling of evidence: the article attributes trade volumes and transaction details to published reporting, then labels the later allegations about Brazilian documentation as rumours rather than confirmed findings. Verify the current record. Keep the date in your notes.
