| Description | The tanker during the period of the G7 and EU oil embargo and the price cap policy on russian crude oil/petroleum products has been involved since September 2024 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 AIS, conducting dark activities, in particular near the russian port of Ust-Luga). At the same time, since August 2024, the owner and commercial manager of the tanker is Zest Chartering Ltd, registered in the Seychelles at Suite 10, 3rd Floor, La Ciotat, Mont Fleuri, Mahe Island Seychelles, which is widely used to register companies of owners/managers of shadow fleet tankers.

As of June 05, 2025, the fleet of Neptune Navigators LLC also includes two sanctioned tankers of the russian shadow fleet - IMO 9260823 and IMO 9434890. On May 20, 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. From July 20, 2025, the EU imposed sanctions on a tanker for transporting crude oil/petroleum products that originate in russia or are exported from russia using irregular and high-risk shipping practices as set out in the International Maritime Organization General Assembly resolution A.1192 (33).
