DescriptionDuring the period of the G7 and EU oil embargo, the tanker is involved in the export of russian crude oil from russian ports to third countries. The vessel affiliated with the beneficiaries of the sanctioned shipping company Hennesea Holdings Limited (UAE), founded in late 2022, operating in the maritime sector of the russian economy. Shortly before the entry into force of the price-cap policy, Hennesea acquired old tankers transporting russian crude oil and oil products and entering russian ports. In January 2024, USA imposed sanctions to vessels affiliated with the beneficiaries of Hennesea. According to GISIS IMO, as of early July 2025, the vessel's flag is marked as "Guinea False". As of July 12, 2025, the tanker is anchored near Sharjah (UAE). Since September 12, 2025, the United Kingdom has imposed sanctions on the vessel.[sources]
