Litasco Middle East DMCC est une filiale de PJSC Lukoil établie à Dubaï, qui est étroitement liée à l'industrie de l'énergie russe. Litasco Middle East DMCC et une entité qu'elle contrôle, Eiger Shipping DMCC, ont permis la fourniture de nombreux navires faisant partie de la “flotte fantôme”. Ces navires ont transporté du pétrole depuis la Russie tout en éteignant ou en manipulant leurs transpondeurs AIS, en ne conservant pas d'assurance de responsabilité civile adéquate ou d'autre sécurité financière et en effectuant des opérations maritimes dangereuses. Par conséquent, Litasco Middle East DMCC est une entité qui contrôle des navires transportant du pétrole brut ou des produits pétroliers originaires de Russie ou exportés de Russie, tout en se livrant à des pratiques de navigation irrégulières et à haut risque, telles qu'elles sont visées dans la résolution A.1192(33) de l'assemblée générale de l'Organisation maritime internationale, ou qui apporte, d'une quelconque autre manière, un soutien matériel, technique ou financier aux opérations auxquelles se livrent de tels navires.
