DescriptionThe vessel is involved in the transportation of Ukrainian grain from the port of Sevastopol (TOT Crimea, Ukraine) with the AIS signal turned off, using the traditional scheme of concealing calls to Ukrainian ports in the TOT of Ukraine, in particular to Iran, Syria, and Yemen. The russian companies Aval LLC (TIN 7720314451, under Ukrainian sanctions), Pallada LLC (TIN 6161095847), and the Syrian state-owned company "The General Organization for trading, storage and processing of grain" were involved in the theft of Ukrainian grain by the vessel. Pallada LLC has repeatedly been involved in the theft of Ukrainian grain. In addition, in July 2024, the vessel received a UN permit to unload Ukrainian grain in the port of Salif (Yemen). Thus, the stolen grain was delivered from the temporarily occupied Sevastopol to Yemen for the first time. On April 02, 2025, USA imposed sanctions on a ship that delivered at least two shipments of stolen Ukrainian grain from the TOT of Crimea to Yemen, organized in the summer and autumn of 2024 by sanctioned russian Afghan businessmen Hushang Ghairat and his brother Sohrab Ghairat. On June 25-30, 2025, the vessel was loaded with wheat at berth 21 of the Avlita grain terminal in Sevastopol Bay.[sources]
