In addition to buying older ships, Russia also concentrated on certain classes of tankers when collecting its shadow fleet. As illustrated in Figure 8, a majority of vessels in our shadow fleet dataset (207 of 343 tankers, or 61%) belong to the Aframax/long range 2 (LR2) class. 11 All but one of those Aframax/LR2 ships had capacities between 100,000 DWT and 125,000 DWT, accounting for the large bar for that range in Figure 9. Notably, our dataset also reveals that the vast majority of the shadow fleet is composed of tanker ships of long range 1 class tankers or larger—a combined 294 out of 343 ships (86%). Suezmax tankers, with a capacity between 125,000 DWT and 200,000 DWT, were the second most common class with a count of 70 ships. 12 Medium range class tankers with capacities between 25,000 DWT and around 50,000 DWT are the third most common in our dataset, with a count of 42.
