On Fri, Dec 15, 2023, Swedish authorities conducted a customs inspection of the Russian freighter Adler, which had anchored in Swedish waters due to engine issues. The vessel's owners are listed under European Union sanctions, as confirmed by Martin Hoglund, spokesperson for the Swedish Customs Service.

Hoglund stated, "Shortly after 01:00 (00:00 GMT), we boarded the ship with support from the Swedish Coast Guard and the police service to perform a customs inspection. The inspection is still ongoing." No further details were provided regarding the findings on board.

The Adler, a 126-meter roll-on, roll-off container carrier, is currently anchored off Hoganas in southwest Sweden, as per Marine Traffic data. The ship had departed from the Russian port of St Petersburg on Dec 15, 2023. However, its intended destination remains undisclosed.

The vessel's owners are listed under European Union sanctions, as confirmed by Martin Hoglund, spokesperson for the Swedish Customs Service.

The Adler, and its owners M Leasing LLC, are subject to both EU and US sanctions. They are suspected of involvement in weapons transport, according to OpenSanctions, a database tracking sanctioned entities.

The inspection operation was executed collaboratively by the Swedish Customs Administration, the coastguard, the National Task Force, the Swedish Security Service, and prosecutors.

Previously, in January 2021, the Adler was boarded by Greek forces in the Mediterranean under the EU's Operation Irini, which enforces the United Nations arms embargo on Libya.
