| Description | The tanker, during the period of the G7 and EU oil embargo and the price cap policy on russian crude oil/petroleum products, is involved in the export of russian crude oil/petroleum products from russian ports in the Baltic and Black Seas using deceptive practices (disabling AIS, active dark activities in the Kerch Strait, the TOT of Crimea of Ukraine, and in the area of russian ports in the Baltic Sea). The vessel calls at the ports of the TOT of Crimea of Ukraine, in particular, in May 2025 at the port of Kerch and the port of Komysh-Burun. The tanker is affiliated with the Turkish company Beks Tanker Isletmeciligi AS, which managed the vessel from November 2022 to March 2024. Beks Tanker Isletmeciligi AS is one of the top three ranking Turkish operators, which in 2023 provided transportation of hundreds of millions of barrels of russian crude oil and petroleum products. The fleet of the Turkish top three - Beks Tanker Isletmeciligi AS and the sanctioned Beks Gemi Isletmeciligi ve Tic and Active Denizcilik ve Gemi - transported a total of 49 million barrels of russian crude oil/petroleum products in 2023. In March 2024, the management of the tanker was transferred to the Turkish company Cape Gemi Isletmeciligi AS. Cape Gemi Isletmeciligi AS has the same legal address as two other Turkish ship managers, Sand Gemi Isletmeciligi AS and Tokyo Gemi Isletmeciligi AS. Eight tankers of these companies were operated by Beks Tanker Isletmeciligi AS in 2023 and early 2024, and one tanker was operated by the sanctioned Beks Gemi Isletmeciligi ve Tic.
