PIPELINES & PUMPING STATIONS

Line colours: operating inventory · inactive · planned / construction. Square markers: pumping station or pipeline assessment. Orange dot = damage history; purple dot = sanctioned operator. Select for dates and evidence. These filters apply only to pipelines and reviewed infrastructure.

EVIDENCE REGISTER / 2020–2026

Refineries and tankers under pressure

Filter by date, sea, region or vessel type. Named reports and separately labelled aggregate claims are sourced; this is a reviewed sample, not an exhaustive war-loss census.

UKRAINIAN CAMPAIGN REPORTS

Reported totals and named incidents

Campaign totals can include unnamed vessels, repeat strikes and other ship types. They overlap the register and each other. They are displayed as attributed claims, without inventing ship identities or map positions. Campaign context stays visible; filters apply to the map and individual incident register.

S Sanctioned vessel at the incident date · open evidence for jurisdiction and listing date. Source-reported listings are labelled. A later designation is separate. Sanctions do not establish a global price effect. Read the market conclusion ↗

Documented records by year

Click a year to filter. Counts reflect research coverage, not global attack rates or lost capacity.

Sanctions are jurisdiction-specific. A designation, boarding or allegation is not a universal finding of illegality. A cargo seizure does not imply seizure of the vessel. Historical outcomes are dated, and later release or court proceedings are retained where verified.

The directory is not plotted without a supported incident location. Names and flags can change; match vessels by IMO number. No incident reviewed here does not mean no incident occurred.

Historical incidents from 2020, not currently burning sites or live ship positions. Fire symbols also cover documented flood, storm and mechanical damage. Drone symbols identify vessel attacks, including separately labelled naval vessels; the evidence card states the weapon. Ship markers show approximate reported incident areas. An unmarked asset has no reviewed incident here, which does not establish that it was unaffected.
Infrastructure snapshots: refineries 2025; extraction March 2026; pipelines June 2026. Field output years vary. Sea corridors are illustrative; they do not prove a supplier relationship with a refinery.

Pumping stations & pipeline condition register

Selected sourced facilities and systems, with approximate town or route reference points. Status colours describe the cited date, not current operation. No reviewed record establishes complete destruction of a station or pipeline; equipment destruction is described in its evidence card. Sanctions apply to the named operator or transaction scope, with licences shown separately.
