| Description | It is involved in the transportation of russian crude oil during the period of the G7 and EU oil embargo on russian oil. The vessel transported russian oil from russian ports to third countries. After UK imposed sanctions in December 2023 on the former manager of the vessel, the operator of the "shadow fleet" - Radiating World Shipping Services LLC (UAE), the latter transferred its tankers to other newly established companies, including Alqutb Alshamali Marine Services LLC (UAE), Atos Remote Solutions (India), to avoid sanctions. In June 2024, EU imposed sanctions on the vessel due to its involvement in the transportation of russian oil and/or oil products from russia to third countries, as well as for its participation in the circumvention of European restrictions. On October 17, 2024, Switzerland imposed sanctions on the vessel in response to the transportation of oil/oil products originating from russia or exported from russia, using irregular and high-risk shipping practices, as specified in the resolution of the General Assembly of the International Maritime Organization A.1192(33). On November 25, 2024, the United Kingdom imposed sanctions on a tanker in connection with the transportation of russian oil/oil products from the russian federation to a third country as part of the restrictions on the russian shadow fleet. On February 21, 2025, Canada imposed sanctions on the vessel. On June 19, 2025, New Zealand imposed sanctions on the vessel. Since December 13, 2025, Ukraine has imposed sanctions on the vessel. | [sources] | |||
