Description	During the period of the G7 and EU oil embargo and the price-cap policy on russian oil, the tanker is involved in the export of russian oil from russian ports in the Baltic, Black seas, and the Pacific region, mainly to China and India. The tanker is managed by Prominent Shipmanagement LTD, established in 2022 in Hong Kong.
