| Description | During the period of the G7 and EU oil embargo and price-cap policy on russian crude oil/petroleum products, the tanker is involved in the export of russian crude oil/petroleum products from russian ports in the Black Sea, Arctic, and Pacific regions, mainly to China and third countries, including the use of deceptive practices (disabling AIS, conducting dark activities). The vessel, through Stream Ship Management FZCO, Oil Tankers SCF MGMT FZCO, Sun Ship Management, SCF Management Services Cyprus Ltd, is affiliated with the sanctioned PJSC Sovcomflot, the largest state-owned shipping company in russia that services and supports offshore hydrocarbon production, transportation of russian crude oil/petroleum products, and liquefied gas. The main charterers of PJSC Sovcomflot's vessels are russia's largest oil and gas companies and traders. PJSC Sovcomflot is involved in servicing major oil and gas projects in russia: Sakhalin-1, Sakhalin-2, Varandey, Prirazlomnoye, Novy Port, Yamal LNG and others. The tanker is managed by Nova Shipmanagement LLC-FZ (UAE), which as of July 12, 2025, manages six other sanctioned oil tankers (IMO 9301407, IMO 9301419, IMO 9301421, IMO 9354301, IMO 9901025, IMO 9901037) affiliated with PJSC Sovcomflot. On December 16, 2024, the EU imposed sanctions on the tanker (effective from December 17, 2024) due to the transportation of crude oil or petroleum products originating in or exported from russia, using irregular high-risk shipping practices as set out in the International Maritime Organization General Assembly Resolution A.1192(33); in relation to contributing to, supporting actions or policies aimed at the exploitation, development or expansion of the energy sector in russia, including energy infrastructure.
