DescriptionThe tanker during the period of the G7 and EU oil embargo and price-cap policy on russian crude oil/oil products is involved in the export of russian crude oil/oil products to third countries. The vessel is affiliated with the sanctioned company Radiating World Shipping Services LLC, which was the tanker's manager. In order to circumvent the sanctions, Radiating World Shipping Services 're-registered' its fleet to related companies. The constant change of owners and managers of vessels to avoid sanctions and conceal the true beneficiaries of the vessels is typical for the so-called 'shadow' fleet involved in the russian crude oil/oil products trade. On October 17, 2024, the United Kingdom imposed sanctions on tankers of the russian so-called 'shadow' fleet, including the tanker IMO 9288708. On February 21, 2025, Canada imposed sanctions on the vessel. On February 24, March 04, 2025 EU and Switzerland respectively imposed sanctions on the tanker for transporting crude oil/oil products originating in or exported from russia using irregular and high-risk shipping practices as specified in the International Maritime Organization General Assembly resolution A.1192 (33) (EU sanctions will enter into force on February 25, 2025).[sources]
