This map illustrates the situation involving Russian oil tankers stranded outside Chinese ports. The regions include parts of China, Russia, North Korea, South Korea, and Japan. The tankers are marked along their routes with dashed red lines leading to ports such as Longkou, Yantai, and Dongjiakou, accompanied by red “stop” symbols, denoting restrictions or blocked access. Key ports like Kozmino (Russia) and Olia (South Korea) are also labeled. The map features arrows marking tanker movements, including routes through the Sea of Japan and the Yellow Sea. An inset map in the bottom-left corner shows the global context of the region.
The map’s title reads: “China untersagt die Hafen-Einfahrt: Russlands Schatten-Tanker stecken fest” (“China denies port entry: Russia’s shadow tankers are stranded”).
