Many of the shadow fleet crew members aren't even Russians. Typically only the master and some officers are privy to the real mission. The other crew members are just random seamen hired from the usual poor countries so jailing them would be pointless.

Typically only the master and mates are liable for breaches like that? It's not that a boatswain, a C/E decides when to drop an anchor.
