The 42-year-old film producer, once engaged to American socialite Paris Hilton, is an heir to one of Greece’s richest families and has built a reputation that bridges the worlds of Hollywood glamour and the maritime world. <br>The entrepreneur who looks more like a rockstar than a businessman made headlines once more last autumn when his company Marla Tankers sold two oil tankers for a reported 84 million dollars."</p><p>"A total of more than 6 billion dollars has flowed into the coffers of Western shipping magnates since the start of the war in February 2022"</p><p>"Avoiding EU bans<br>The European Union banned the direct sale of ships to Russian companies in late 2023 – but that didn’t deal a big blow to the shadow fleet. <br>That’s because almost all of the vessels are, on paper, not owned by Russians – instead, they’re registered with companies in India, on the Seychelles, in Hong Kong, or Vietnam. Selling to these third countries is not illegal."</p><p>"With Russian demand for old tankers hiking up prices, shipowners around the world saw a chance to sell a tanker for good money, tankers which in many cases would have been destined to be sold for scrap."</p><p>"One of them is Belgian marine transport company Euronav – which recently changed its name to CMB.TECH – received 135 million dollars for five vessels that ended up in Russia’s shadow fleet in 2022 and early 2023.<br>Spokesperson Katrien Hennin said it hadn’t known the vessels would be used for that purpose.<br>“We have no insight into what happens to the ships after the sale and that is not our responsibility. To whom the buyer resells a ship or how he operates the ship legally or illegally is beyond our control,” Hennin said."</p><p>"A ship broker, who requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the discussions, said it ultimately came down to profits.<br>“An investor is only interested in one thing, and that is money. I think the ethical line is very thin,” the broker said. “If it's allowed, they'll do it.”<br>Overall, Greek shipowners sold ships worth almost 4 billion dollars, UK-based companies sold 22 tankers to the tune of 590 million dollars in total, and German shipowners raked in 190 million dollars."</p><p>"Part of the reason why the EU has been slow in ramping up its sanctions regime for ships is because of internal resistance. Greece, alongside other maritime countries like Cyprus and Malta, has at times frustrated any attempts to ramp up sanctions."</p><p>"At the end of January, the Fos Picasso docked at the Indian port of Mangalore, where the oil has been unloaded and processed. Similarly, the second tanker Fos Da Vinci is currently cruising on the Indian Ocean. It seems to be heading to India as well, where it is likely to unload the oil worth millions of dollars that it is transporting."</p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/SlavaUkraini" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SlavaUkraini</span></a> ! <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/HeroyamSl%C3%A1va" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HeroyamSláva</span></a>! <br><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/RussiaIsATerroristState" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RussiaIsATerroristState</span></a><br><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/StopEcoside" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StopEcoside</span></a> <br><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/StopRapingNature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StopRapingNature</span></a></p>

Multiple neighborhoods have been completely burned down, including in the town of Altadena, where our guest, climate scientist and activist Peter Kalmus, lived until two years ago, when increasing heat and dryness pushed Kalmus to leave the Los Angeles area in fear of his safety. "I couldn't stay there," he says. "It's not a new normal. … It's a staircase to a hotter, more hellish Earth." Kalmus discusses an op-ed he recently published in The New York Times about the decision, which he says was toned down by the paper's editors when he attempted to explain that fossil fuel companies' investment in climate change denial and normalization has only accelerated the pace of unprecedented large-scale climate disasters.
