DescriptionThe tanker during the period of the G7 and EU oil embargo and the price cap policy on russian coude il/petroleum products is involved in the export of russian crude oil/petroleum products from russian ports, including using deceptive, high-risk practices (disabling AIS, conducting dark activities, making STS transmissions with russian affiliations). In 2023, the tanker exported russian crude oil/petroleum products from russian ports in the Black Sea, including through STS transmissions in the Kerch Strait with tankers of the russian shadow fleet, and in 2024 from the russian port of Kozmino to China. The tanker is affiliated with the Turkish company Active Denizcilik ve Gemi (under UK sanctions since February 2024), which was the commercial manager of the vessel from October 2022 to January 2024. Active Denizcilik ve Gemi was one of the top three ranking Turkish operators, which in 2023 provided transportation of tens of millions of barrels of russian crude oil and petroleum products. On May 09, 2025, the United Kingdom imposed sanctions on the tanker as part of the restrictions on the shadow fleet of the russian federation, including for engaging in activities aimed at destabilizing Ukraine, undermining/threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty or independence of Ukraine or benefiting from or supporting the government of russia, and participating in the transportation of crude oil/petroleum products of russian origin, in particular, from russia to a third country. On May 20, 2025, the EU imposed sanctions, which will enter into force on May 21, 2025, on the tanker for the transportation of crude oil/petroleum products originating in or exported from russia, using irregular high-risk shipping practices as specified in the International Maritime Organization General Assembly Resolution A.1192(33). On June 03, 2025, the sanctions imposed by Switzerland on the vessel came into force. In June 2025, Canada imposed sanctions on the vessel. Since September 18, 2025, Australia has imposed sanctions on the vessel.[sources]
