Hello and welcome to World Business Report here on the BBC World Service.
I'm Rahul Tanden.
Plenty coming up on the program.
We have haven't we talked a lot about ghost ships over the last few years?
And we're going to start by focusing on that issue once again because a Russian cargo ship has sunk in the western Mediterranean after an explosion in its engine room.
Two crew members are still missing.
The owner of the Ursa Major said the ship was on its way to Vladivostok to deliver dock cranes.
But there has been speculation the ship, which is under US Sanctions, may actually have been heading to Syria to collect Russian military supplies.
We're going to try and get some answers to what it was actually doing with David Tannenbaum, who is a partner in maritime and sanctions intelligence for Polestar Global, a maritime intelligence and technology company.
David, thanks so much for joining us on World Business report.
We use this term ghost ships a lot.
Just remind our listeners what we're talking about here.
