Flag purge fails to dent Cameroon’s shadow fleet hub status

  • Cameroon cuts 36 vessels from its shipping register under international pressure to curb its role as a major flagging hub for sanctioned and shadow fleet tankers
  • Several ‘removed’ tankers have simply shifted to other high‑risk registries such as Sierra Leone and Equatorial Guinea, while 28 still signal Cameroon as their flag
  • Cameroon deregistration push follows months of EU pressure, including concerns over fraudulent registrations and the use of Cameroon‑flagged ships in Russian and Iranian oil trades
  • Cameroon, Sierra Leone and Oman remain key targets for diplomatic pressure over their flagging practices

  • News

Cameroon may have deregistered 36 vessels, claiming to have dealt with the shadow fleet influx of tonnage, but 155 of its 165 active international ships remain sanctioned or part of the shadow fleet
