The Latvian ship Zircone, suspected of breaking Russian sanction and posing an environmental threat to Baltic Sea has during last 36h been inspected by SE fighter jets, coast guard and navy.
All the while continuing her activities.
I suppose SE state is building a case.
Five days ago Greenpeace activists wrote
"OIL FUELS WAR PEOPLE WANT PEACE"
on the side of the tanker.
Some days before that the suspected sanctions rounding practice was big news in Sweden and ministers promised action.

Right now, the Liberia-flagged tanker Suez Enchanted is about to do a ship to ship transfer with Zircone. Her last port is Primorsk, Russia and I suspect this is where the fuel comes from, which would make this even more illegal. Yet to be proven. @TankerTrackers
There is a Swedish naval vessel an hour north of the two tankers. It is most likely a Visby-corvette and they made an almost 180° turn around two hours ago.
About to document coming STS-operation?
Zircone has continued doing ship to ship transfers during day. I think too much, will return with stats.
No more open visits by mil units or law enforcement.
