Welcome to the CavasShips Podcast with Christopher P. Cavas and Chris Servello…a weekly podcast looking at naval and maritime events and issues of the day – in the US, across the seas and around the world. This week…there’s a shadow fleet of tankers trading the world’s oceans – by some estimates nearly 2,000 tankers, about a fifth of the global tanker fleet. The ships evade international law, break embargoes, and can cause economic and ecological havoc. Michelle Wiese Bockmann is an expert on the deceptions, and she’ll join us to talk about the strategic and security threats this growing fleet poses to worldwide security.
