DescriptionThe vessel is engaged in transportation of russian crude oil during the period of the G7 and EU oil embargo on russian oil. The tanker is affiliated with the sanctioned PJSC Sovcomflot, the largest state-owned shipping company in russia for the maintenance and provision of marine hydrocarbon extraction, transportation of russian oil, petroleum products, and liquefied gas. The main charterers of Sovcomflot vessels are the largest oil and gas companies and traders of russia. Sovcomflot participates in the maintenance of large oil and gas projects in russia: Sakhalin-1, Sakhalin-2, Varandey, Pryrazlomnoye, Novyy Port, Yamal LNG, others. Before the full-scale russian invasion of Ukraine, the company's fleet consisted of about 145 vessels. After the application of sanctions, PJSC Sovcomflot transferred dozens of vessels to the ownership of companies it created, including those in foreign jurisdictions, in order to circumvent them, starting the practice of constant 'juggling' (transferring) vessels to related companies. The tankers 'transferred' by PJSC Sovcomflot to related companies are, according to experts, part of the so-called 'shadow tanker fleet' of the russian federation to continue sales of russian oil, petroleum products, and liquefied gas under Western sanctions. The vessel is managed by the russian company Invest Fleet LLC, established in December 2023. Invest Fleet LLC is managed by the russian LLC SCF Arctica, a subsidiary of the sanctioned PJSC Sovcomflot. In February 2024, USA imposed sanctions on 14 vessels (including ІМО 9413559) affiliated with the sanctioned company Sovcomflot as part of measures to reduce russia's oil revenues. On November 25, 2024, United Kingdom imposed sanctions on a tanker in connection with the transportation of russian crude oil/oil products from the russian federation to a third country. On February 21, 2025, Canada imposed sanctions on the vessel. Since October 24, 2025, the EU has imposed sanctions on the vessel.[sources]
