DescriptionThe tanker, during the period of the G7+ oil embargo and the price cap policy on russian crude oil/oil products, is involved in the transportation of crude oil/oil products from russian ports in the Black Sea using deceptive, high-risk practices (disabling AIS, in particular, in the Kerch Strait, Malta). The tanker is affiliated through the sanctioned companies Sun Ship Management (UAE), Oil Tankers SCF MGMT FZCO (UAE), Fornax Ship Management FZCO (UAE) with the sanctioned PJSC Sovcomflot, the largest state-owned shipping company in russia for servicing and supporting offshore hydrocarbon production, transportation of russian crude oil, oil products, and liquefied gas. The major charterers of PJSC Sovcomflot's vessels are russia's largest oil and gas companies and traders. PJSC Sovcomflot is involved in servicing major oil and gas projects in russia: Sakhalin-1, Sakhalin-2, Varandey, Prirazlomnoye, Novy Port, Yamal LNG and others. Since November 2024, the tanker has been operated by Thunder Shipmanagement LLC-FZ (UAE). As of February 14, 2025, the fleet of Thunder Shipmanagement LLC-FZ consists of 21 oil tankers affiliated with the sanctioned PJSC Sovcomflot. The company's fleet includes sanctioned oil tankers, in particular IMO 9309576, IMO 9322968, IMO 9309588, IMO 9292060, IMO 9292058, IMO 9292034, IMO 9276028, IMO 9329655, IMO 9577094 and others. After the sanctions were imposed, PJSC Sovcomflot transferred dozens of vessels to the ownership of companies it created, including in foreign jurisdictions, in order to circumvent them, and started the practice of constantly 'juggling' (transferring) vessels to related companies. Tankers 're-registered' by PJSC Sovcomflot to related companies continue to transport russian crude oil/oil products under Western sanctions. On February 24, 2025 EU imposed sanctions on a tanker associated with a sanctioned person (the sanctions come into force on February 25, 2025). On March 04, 2025, Switzerland imposed sanctions on the tanker as a vessel associated with a sanctioned entity. On July 21, 2025, the United Kingdom imposed sanctions on the vessel.[sources]
