The Danish ship 'Caroline Theresa' called at the cities of Dakhla and El Aaiún in occupied Western Sahara with a gas transport from Spain this week. The ship is owned by the Danish shipping company Christiania Shipping, which in turn is Norwegian-owned. 

It is not the first time that Christiania Shipping has carried out such a transport: in 2023 the shipping company carried out a transport with the sister ship 'Cathy Theresa'.

The Norwegian Support Committee for Western Sahara wrote Christiania Shipping on 8 May 2023 and 30 August 2024, 8 May 2023 and 30 August 2024, so far without a reply. The online newspaper TransitMag covered the incident on 30 August. 

The Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs advises against business in the territory, as it helps to support Morocco's occupation.
