| Description | Since August 2023, after the introduction of the G7 and EU oil embargo and the price cap policy on russian crude oil/petroleum products, the tanker has been actively involved in the export of russian crude oil/petroleum products from russian ports in the Baltic and Black Seas, including using deceptive, high-risk practices. The vessel is engaged in shadow activities, STS transmissions, in particular in the vicinity of russian ports in the Black Sea. In November 2023, an STS transfer took place near Greece with the tanker IMO 9334557, affiliated with the Indian company Gatik Ship Management, one of the leading operators of the so-called 'shadow' fleet involved in the transportation of russian crude oil under Western sanctions. There is also an STS transmission with the tanker IMO 9384095, affiliated with MRK Shipmanagement SRL (Moldova) and Tidal Tech Mariners LLC (Azerbaijan), which are among dozens of companies from Moldova and Azerbaijan involved in the management of the fleet of wet cargo tankers of russian origin, which played a significant role in the export of russian crude oil/petroleum products under Western sanctions. The tanker is affiliated with the Moldovan company BPC Shipmanagement SRL, which became the commercial and technical manager of the vessel in May 2023, while in May 2023 the owner of the vessel became Blue Sea Navigation Ltd (IMO 6390405), registered in the Seychelles at Suite 10, 3rd Floor, La Ciotat, Mont Fleuri, Mahe Island Seychelles, which is widely used for registration of shipping companies involved in the transportation of russian crude oil/petroleum products. Since April 2024, commercial management has been transferred to the company-owner, technical management - to Vvave Minder Shipmanagement (Azerbaijan) since August 2024, Tidal Tech Mariners LLC (Azerbaijan) since February 2025, while the company-owner has not changed, which may indicate the unchanged beneficiary of the vessel. After the change of management, the tanker continues to call at russian ports with oil terminals. On October 15, 2025, the United Kingdom imposed sanctions on the vessel. | [sources] | |||
