| 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 involved in the export of russian crude oil/petroleum products, including the use of deceptive, high-risk practices, through STS transfers with russian affiliations. In July 2023, the tanker was involved in the export of diesel (almost 30 thousand tons) from the russian port of Tuapse, where the production complex belonging to the sanctioned PJSC Rosneft Oil Company, the Tuapse Oil Refinery with a sea terminal, is located. The sender of the cargo was the sanctioned russian Rosneft, and the recipient was GMS Trading Middle East DMCC (UAE), founded on February 16, 2022. In September 2024, after leaving the port of Tuapse, the tanker conducted STS transmissions with tanker IMO 9260067, which was sanctioned by USA in October 2024, and tanker IMO 9247443 in the area near Greece. Since July 2024, the tanker IMO 9247443, without proper insurance of the International P&I Club, has been operating in the area of Greece and Cyprus as a floating STS transshipment hub for russian wet cargo delivered to the area of Greece and Cyprus for transshipment mainly from the russian ports of Tuapse, Novorossiysk, as well as from the Taman crude oil/petroleum products transshipment complex, Primorsk, Ust-Luga. Such deliveries from russian ports for further transshipment via tanker IMO 9247443 in European waters are carried out by a number of tankers, including those affiliated with the Indian company Gatik Ship Management, one of the leading operators of the russian shadow fleet. In 2025, the tanker calls at russian ports, in particular, the Sheskharis terminal (Novorossiysk), which is a transshipment complex, the end point of the main pipelines of Chernomortransneft JSC (TIN: 2315072242, under USA sanctions), a subsidiary of the sanctioned russian Transneft PJSC (TIN: 7706061801). The tanker is affiliated with Exxen Ship Management Co, which as of April 25, 2025, is the technical manager of the sanctioned tanker IMO 9224465, which is classified by the International NGO Greenpeace as a shadow fleet of tankers transporting russian oil around the world and threatening the environment. At the same time, the tanker IMO 9224465 through the sanctioned companies Sun Ship Management, SCF Management Services Cyprus Ltd is affiliated with the sanctioned PJSC Sovcomflot, the largest state-owned shipping company in russia for servicing and supporting offshore hydrocarbon production, transportation of russian crude oil, petroleum products, liquefied gas, the main charterers of Sovcomflot vessels are the largest oil and gas companies and traders in russia. On May 09, 2025, the United Kingdom imposed sanctions on the tanker as part of the restrictions on the shadow fleet of the russian federation, including for engaging in activities aimed at destabilizing Ukraine, undermining/threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty or independence of Ukraine or benefiting from or supporting the government of russia, and participating in the transportation of crude oil/petroleum products of russian origin, in particular, from russia to a third country. On May 20, 2025, the EU imposed sanctions, which will enter into force on May 21, 2025, on the tanker for the transportation of crude oil/petroleum products originating in or exported from russia, using irregular high-risk shipping practices as specified in the International Maritime Organization General Assembly Resolution A.1192(33). On June 03, 2025, the sanctions imposed by Switzerland on the vessel came into force. In June 2025, Canada imposed sanctions on the vessel. In August 2025, Ukraine imposed sanctions on the tanker's master. | [sources] | |||
