| Description | The vessel carried out transportation from russian ports in the Black Sea of oil products to EU countries via raid transvesselment in violation of the G7 and EU oil embargo in August 2023 (from the port of Kavkaz to the port of Malta). In January 2024, USA sanctions imposed to vessels affiliated with the beneficiaries of Hennesea Holdings Limited (UAE), a sanctioned shipping company founded in late 2022, operating in the maritime sector of the russian economy. Shortly before the price-cap policy came into effect, Hennesea acquired old tankers that transport russian crude oil and petroleum products and entering russian ports. As of July 2025, the vessel has been anchored for a long time near the port of Said (Egypt). According to GISIS IMO, the vessel is sailing under the false flag of Guinea. Since September 12, 2025, the United Kingdom has imposed sanctions on the vessel. In November 2025, Canada imposed sanctions on the vessel. | [sources] | |||
