| Description | During the G7 and EU oil embargo and price cap policy on russian crude oil, the tanker is involved in transporting russian crude oil to third countries from russian ports in the Baltic Sea, resorting to the practice of turning off the AIS signal and conducting so-called "dark activities," particularly in the Baltic Sea near the coasts of russia, Singapore, Malaysia, China, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam. The tanker is involved in the transportation of Iranian crude oil/petroleum products. Since the start of russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, more than 100 vessels that previously helped Iran export crude oil are now helping russia transport russian crude oil/petroleum products. Many tankers involved in transporting Iranian oil to countries such as China are involved in Venezuelan trade, including tanker IMO 9183271. On June 11, 2022, Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and former Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi signed a 20-year cooperation agreement to expand ties in the oil and petrochemical industries, as well as in the military and economic spheres. Since then, bilateral ties have begun to develop. Most cargoes are transported by vessels of the sanctioned National Iranian Tanker Company (NITC) in both directions. A significant number of vessels flying under foreign (not Iranian) flags are also involved in this trade. On May 20, 2025, the United Kingdom imposed sanctions on the tanker as part of restrictions on the russian shadow fleet. Since October 24, 2025, the EU has imposed sanctions on the vessel. Since December 13, 2025, Switzerland has imposed sanctions on the vessel. Since December 13, 2025, Ukraine has imposed sanctions on the vessel. | [sources] | |||
