| Description | During the period of the G7 and EU oil embargo and the price-cap policy on russian crude oil/petroleum products, the tanker has been involved in the export of russian crude oil/petroleum products to third countries, particularly from russian ports in the Baltic Sea. The tanker is affiliated with the sanctioned company Fractal Marine DMCC (UAE), which is regarded as one of the leading operators of the russian shadow fleet. At the beginning of 2023, Fractal Marine DMCC was among the three largest carriers of russian crude oil/petroleum products – along with Radiating World Shipping Services LLC (UAE) and Gatik Ship Management (India) – and played a major role in facilitating russian oil exports worldwide under sanctions restrictions. On February 22, 2024, the United Kingdom imposed sanctions on Fractal Marine DMCC for its involvement in servicing the russian energy sector. The company operated a fleet of 28 tankers, acting as an intermediary between shipowners and charterers. Following its designation, Fractal Marine DMCC transferred its fleet to the management of related entities. The vessel IMO 9336490 is part of a vast shipping empire controlled by Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani, the son of Ali Shamkhani, chief political advisor to Iran’s Supreme Leader. Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani leverages his father’s political influence to corrupt senior Iranian officials in order to build and operate a massive fleet of tankers and container ships. This fleet transports oil and petroleum products from Iran and russia, as well as other cargoes, to customers around the world, generating tens of billions of dollars in profits. The Shamkhani shipping network comprises a large fleet of vessels, ship management companies, and front entities that launder billions of dollars in proceeds from the global sale of Iranian and russian crude oil and petroleum products, primarily to buyers in China. The network employs extensive measures to conceal its operations and obscure its connections to the Shamkhani family, Iran, and russia. BPT Shipping Co LLC (UAE), Fractal Marine DMCC (UAE), Wanta Shipping LLC-FZ (UAE), and The Zulu Ships Management and Operation – Sole Proprietorship LLC (UAE), with which the tanker IMO 9336490 is affiliated, are among the companies that have played a key role in managing and operating the tanker fleet of the Shamkhani maritime network. On July 30, 2025, the United States imposed sanctions on the vessel IMO 9336490. Since October 24, 2025, the EU has imposed sanctions on the vessel. | [sources] | |||
