Intershipping Services LLC

Intershipping Services LLC is an entity based in the UAE. It operates the Gabon international flag registry, which has been flagging vessels transporting Russian crude oil or petroleum products following the beginning of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, including vessels controlled by Sovcomflot. ;Through its owner’s family relations and its Indian office, registered as Intershipping Services Hub Private Limited, Intershipping Services LLC is also operating the Comoros international flag registry, which has been flagging vessels transporting Russian crude oil or petroleum products following the introduction of Western restrictive measures against Russia’s so-called “shadow fleet”. ;Several vessels flagged through the Gabon and Comoros international flag registries have regularly engaged in high-risk shipping practices. Such practices include not maintaining adequate liability insurance, carrying out unsafe operations, intentionally taking measures to avoid ship detection such as switching off their Automatic Identification Systems or not operating under a transparent corporate governance policy that assures the welfare and safety of those on board and the protection of the marine environment. ;Therefore, Intershipping Service LLC is providing support to the operations of vessels that transport crude oil or petroleum products, originating in Russia or exported from Russia, while practicing irregular and high-risk shipping practices as set out in the International Maritime Organisation General Assembly resolution A.1192(33).

Intershipping Services LLC est une entité établie aux Émirats arabes unis. Elle exploite le registre international du pavillon du Gabon que des navires transportant du pétrole brut ou des produits pétroliers russes ont battu après le début de la guerre d’agression menée par la Russie contre l’Ukraine, y compris des navires contrôlés par Sovcomflot. Par l’intermédiaire des relations familiales de son propriétaire et de son bureau indien, enregistré sous le nom de Intershipping Services Hub Private Limited, Intershipping Services LLC exploite également le registre international du pavillon des Comores que des navires transportant du pétrole brut ou des produits pétroliers russes ont battu après l’introduction de mesures restrictives occidentales à l’encontre de la “flotte fantôme” de la Russie. Plusieurs navires battant pavillon des registres internationaux du pavillon du Gabon et des Comores se sont régulièrement livrés à des pratiques maritimes à haut risque. Ces pratiques consistent notamment à ne pas souscrire d’assurance responsabilité adéquate, à mener des opérations dangereuses, à prendre intentionnellement des mesures visant à éviter la détection des navires, telles que la désactivation de leur système d’identification automatique, ou à ne pas appliquer de politique de gouvernance d’entreprise transparente garantissant le bien-être et la sécurité des personnes à bord ainsi que la protection de l’environnement marin. Par conséquent, Intershipping Service LLC apporte son soutien aux opérations de navires qui transportent du pétrole brut ou des produits pétroliers originaires de Russie ou exportés de Russie, tout en se livrant à des pratiques de navigation irrégulières et à haut risque, telles qu’elles sont visées dans la résolution A.1192(33) de l’assemblée générale de l’Organisation maritime internationale.
