| Description | On May 20, 2025, the United Kingdom imposed sanctions on the tanker as part of the restrictions on the shadow fleet of the russian federation, including for engaging in activities aimed at destabilizing Ukraine, undermining/threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty or independence of Ukraine or benefiting from or supporting the government of russia, and participating in the transportation of crude oil/petroleum products of russian origin, in particular, from russia to a third country. · The international NGO Greenpeace refers to the tanker as part of a shadow fleet of tankers that transport russian oil around the world and threaten the environment. · The tanker, during the period of the G7 and EU oil embargo and the price cap policy on russian crude oil/petroleum products, has been involved since June 2024 in the export of russian crude oil/petroleum products from russian ports, as well as through STS transfers, in particular in April 2025 with the tanker IMO 9304825 (under UK sanctions since February 2025) near russian ports in the Baltic Sea. The vessel engages in dark activities near the Kerch Strait in the Sea of Azov in June and July 2024, and then near Romania in July 2024. | [sources] | |||
