DescriptionThe tanker has been implicated in the export of russian crude oil and petroleum products from russian ports in the Black Sea during the period of the G7 and EU oil embargo and the price cap policy on russian crude oil/petroleum products. These operations have involved deceptive, high-risk practices, including disabling the Automatic Identification System (AIS), conducting dark activities in the Kerch Strait area, performing ship-to-ship (STS) transfers with vessels of russian affiliation in the Kerch Strait (including the tanker IMO 9289001), and engaging in STS operations with vessels of the russian shadow fleet near European countries (including the tankers IMO 9296406 and IMO 9258167). The international NGO Greenpeace classifies the tanker as part of the shadow fleet transporting russian oil worldwide and posing a threat to the environment. On May 20, 2025, the European Union imposed sanctions on the tanker, effective May 21, 2025, for transporting crude oil/petroleum products originating in or exported from russia using irregular, high-risk shipping practices as defined in International Maritime Organization General Assembly Resolution A.1192(33). On June 3, 2025, sanctions imposed by Switzerland on the vessel came into effect. On July 21, 2025, the United Kingdom also imposed sanctions on the vessel.[sources]
