DescriptionAccording to United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI), the tanker is part of a ghost armada that helps Iran transport Iranian oil. · During the period of the G7 and EU oil embargo and the price cap policy on russian crude oil / petroleum products, the tanker has been involved in the export of russian crude oil / petroleum products from russian ports in the Black and Baltic Seas, including the use of deceptive practices (disabling the Automatic Identification System – AIS, conducting dark activities). · In particular, in January, February, and March 2023, the tanker was involved in the export of petroleum products (almost 30 thousand tons, 42 thousand tons, and almost 33 thousand tons, respectively) from the russian port of Tuapse, with the sanctioned Rosneft Oil Company PJSC (ПАО "НК "Роснефть") as the sender of the cargo and Tejarinaft FZCO, Voliton DMCC, and Guron Trading Limited as the recipients, respectively. Tuapse hosts a production complex belonging to Rosneft – the Tuapse Refinery with a marine terminal. The tanker was also involved in several other export operations of diesel cargoes of Rosneft from the port of Tuapse on January 09 and February 01, 2023. · Voliton DMCC (UAE, formerly known as Petrokim Trading Middle East & Asia DMCC) was sanctioned by the United States as part of restrictions imposed on shipowners and vessels involved in the transportation of russian crude oil in excess of the price cap. In January 2025, the United States imposed sanctions on Guron Trading Limited as part of its restrictions on russian oil traders. Voliton DMCC and Guron Trading Limited are considered to be associated with Etibar Eyyub, who, together with other associated companies, has become the main intermediary of Rosneft in the export of russian crude oil / petroleum products.[sources]
