The UK and US have presented a united front in the battle against the shadow fleet with a public commitment to share information and run co-ordinated investigations.

The move follows complaints by insurers that blacklists compiled by the US, UK and European Union were not aligned, adding legal complexity to the most wide-ranging sanctions regime imposed against a state.
