According to a US government official, the administration of US President Donald Trump is considering easing sanctions against ships in the so-called shadow fleet that have transported oil and oil products from Russia, Iran and Venezuela, among others. In a video message to the World Energy Congress in Riyadh, US Energy Secretary Chris Wright said the government was considering easing sanctions against Shadow Fleet ships, according to the research group Energy Aspects.

This is intended to reduce the extremely high global freight costs. There is talk that the USA could allow the transport of oil and oil products that are not subject to US sanctions on ships that have previously been sanctioned, the insider said on Wednesday. The aim is to bring more crude oil and refined products from the Gulf region onto the market.

A few days ago, US President Donald Trump lifted sanctions against Russian diesel until April 7th. The move drew strong criticism from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, as well as European countries and some U.S. senators from Trump's own Republican Party.

Experts doubt the benefits: USA wants to relax sanctions against shadow fleet tankers

The US government under President Donald Trump is considering easing sanctions against tankers in the so-called shadow fleet in order to reduce high global freight costs. The transport of unsanctioned oil and oil products should be permitted, although Russia should explicitly not benefit. However, experts doubt that this will have a significant effect on freight rates.

Energy: 23,000 jobs at risk: offshore crisis hits German industry

The offshore wind industry in Germany is facing massive job cuts: up to 23,000 of 49,000 jobs could be lost in four years if expansion continues to stall. The loss of sales could amount to 24 billion euros as value creation moves abroad. Suppliers such as EEW and Steelwind are already announcing layoffs and short-time work. The federal government is revising the offshore wind energy law, but the current draft does not provide for a unilateral return of surcharges, which the industry criticizes. Managers warn of a repeat of the fate of the solar industry, where value was shifted to China.
