The tanker Jin Hui was stopped and banned from sailing by Swedish authorities for sailing under a false flag, suspected to be part of the Russian shadow fleet.

The tanker ship Jin Hui was boarded by the Swedish Coast Guard in early May in Swedish territorial waters near Trelleborg. It has been banned from continuing to sail by the Swedish Transport Agency as it was confirmed that the vessel was sailing under a false flag—registered under the Syrian state which has no record of such registration. The Chinese captain has been detained and charged with using a false document. Jin Hui is part of a group of ships suspected to be part of a Russian 'shadow fleet,' with other similar vessels also stopped and banned near Trelleborg. The Transport Agency requires proof of legitimate registration from an approved flag state before the ship may resume operations. This incident is part of ongoing Swedish maritime security efforts against suspicious vessels linked to Russian activities. The location of the events is Swedish territorial waters in the Baltic Sea near Trelleborg.
