DescriptionDuring the period of the G7 and EU oil embargo and the price cap policy on russian crude oil/petroleum products, the tanker has been involved in the export of russian crude oil/petroleum products from russian ports since March 2023, using deceptive, high-risk practices, in particular, conducting dark operations near russian ports in the Black Sea, and making STS transmissions in high-risk areas. · On January 15, 2025, a tanker in the vicinity of the port of Malacca (Malaysia) made an STS transmission with the super tanker IMO 9288083, and the vessel IMO 9289518 arrived in the Malacca area from the russian port of Novorossiysk. In July 2024, an STS transfer took place in the Kerch Strait with tanker IMO 9224441, affiliated with the sanctioned russian PJSC Sovcomflot. · Tankers operated/managed by Radiating World Shipping Services LLC continue to be used by related companies and call at russian ports. · The vessel is affiliated with one of the leading operators of the so-called 'shadow' fleet, Radiating World Shipping Services LLC (UAE, under UK sanctions). At the beginning of 2023, Radiating World Shipping Services LLC was one of the three largest carriers of russian oil, along with Fractal Marine Shipping (UAE) and Gatik Ship Management (India). At that time, the fleet of Fractal Marine Shipping, Radiating World Shipping Services and Gatik Ship Management consisted of about 90 tankers, 90% of which transported crude oil and petroleum products from the Baltic and Black Sea ports of russia to India, China, Turkey, the Middle East, Africa and South America. In order to circumvent the sanctions, Radiating World Shipping Services 're-signed' its fleet to related companies.[sources]
