DescriptionThe vessel has been implicated in the transportation of military cargo (ammunition, shells, body armour, and helmets) from Iran to russia via the Caspian Sea with AIS (Automatic Identification System) disabled. The vessel has also been mentioned as being involved in trade cooperation between Iran and russia. From July 2022 to June 2023, the russian-flagged vessel made 11 port calls at the Iranian ports of Amirabad, Nowshahr, Astara, and Anzali, from which it departed for the russian port of Astrakhan, and in the opposite direction. The Iranian port of Amirabad is a key point of Iranian drone shipments to russia. Drones are transported from Tehran to Amirabad, from where they are shipped by sea to Makhachkala, and then delivered by air and ground transport to launch airfields near the Ukrainian border – Seshcha in the Bryansk region in the north and Primorsko-Akhtarsk in the Krasnodar region in the south. There is a practice of inaccurate reporting of the vessel’s load, and in some voyages it is not possible to identify the loading/unloading location. The vessel has practised disabling AIS near ports, resulting in the port call not being recorded. On 10 September 2024, the United Kingdom imposed sanctions on the vessel. On 21 February 2025, Canada imposed sanctions on the vessel.[sources]
