| Description | During the period of the G7 and EU oil embargo and the price cap policy on russian crude oil/petroleum products, the tanker is actively involved in the export of russian crude oil/petroleum products from russian ports in the Baltic and Black Seas, including with the use of deceptive practices, including in the Kerch Strait area. The vessel calls at the ports of the TOT of Ukraine, in particular, in March 2025, it called at the port of Komysh-Burun (TOT of Crimea of Ukraine). Since August 2024, the current owner and commercial manager of the tanker is Omni Torrent Ltd, registered in the Seychelles at Suite 10, 3rd Floor, La Ciotat, Mont Fleuri, Mahe Island Seychelles, which is massively used for registration of shipping companies involved in the transportation of russian crude oil/petroleum products. The previous owner and manager of the tanker was Hung Phat Maritime Trading from Vietnam, affiliated with the sanctioned tankers IMO 9223540, IMO 9284594, which, in turn, are affiliated with another company from Vietnam - Sao Viet Petrol Transportation Company Limited, which was sanctioned by USA on January 10, 2025 for its activities in the energy sector of the russian economy. The technical manager of the vessel since August 2024 is Nautical Unity Shipmanagement (Azerbaijan). As of April 08, 2025, Nautical Unity Shipmanagement manages two more tankers, in addition to the IMO 9260275: IMO 9253076, IMO 9292838. The vessel IMO 9253076 from the Nautical Unity Shipmanagement fleet is classified by the international NGO Greenpeace as a shadow fleet of tankers transporting russian oil around the world through the Baltic Sea, the Cadet Canal area in the Bay of Mecklenburg and threatening the environment. At the same time, the tanker IMO 9253076, currently managed by Nautical Unity Shipmanagement, is affiliated with Sao Viet Petrol Transportation Company Limited from Vietnam, which is involved in the transportation of sanctioned Iranian oil, which is subject to USA sanctions, as well as Akara Navigation LLC (Azerbaijan), which until February 2025 was responsible for the technical management of the tanker. Akara Navigation LLC, in turn, managed the safety of two other shadow fleet vessels involved in the transportation of sanctioned russian oil, IMO 9233741, IMO 9262924, with the tanker IMO 9262924 identified by the International NGO Greenpeace as part of the shadow fleet of tankers transporting russian oil around the world and threatening the environment. After the change of management, the tanker continues to make calls at russian ports with oil terminals. From July 20, 2025, the EU imposed sanctions on a tanker for transporting crude oil/petroleum products that originate in russia or are exported from russia using irregular and high-risk shipping practices as set out in the International Maritime Organization General Assembly resolution A.1192 (33). On August 12, 2025, Switzerland imposed sanctions on the vessel. On October 15, 2025, the United Kingdom imposed sanctions on the vessel. | [sources] | |||
