| Description | During the period of the G7 and EU oil embargo and the price-cap policy on russian oil, the tanker has been involved in the export of russian oil from russian ports in the Baltic and Black Seas to third countries since July 2023. The international NGO Greenpeace refers to the tanker as a shadow fleet of tankers that transport russian oil around the world and threaten the environment. On May 09, 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. In June 2025, Canada imposed sanctions on the vessel. 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). According to the database of the International Maritime Organization's Global Integrated Shipping Information System (IMO's GISIS), as of July 21, 2025, the vessel's flag has been designated as "Malawi False". On August 12, 2025, Switzerland imposed sanctions on the vessel. In August 2025, Ukraine imposed sanctions on the tanker's master. Since September 18, 2025, Australia has imposed sanctions on the vessel. | [sources] | |||
