During the period of the G7 and EU oil embargo and the price cap policy on russian oil/petroleum products, the tanker was involved in the export of russian oil/petroleum products from russian ports in the Baltic Sea to third countries. The vessel is affiliated with the sanctioned Cypriot company Lagosmarine Ltd, which was the tanker's manager from March 2024 to January 2025. In January 2025, the United States imposed sanctions on Lagosmarine Ltd for its activities in the energy sector of the russian federation and as the technical manager of an oil tanker that called at a russian port several times, where the price of oil was constantly exceeding the price limit. In August 2025, Ukraine also imposed sanctions on the Cypriot company Lagosmarine Ltd. In January 2025, there were changes in the management of the tanker: commercial management was transferred to Drimas Chartering Co (Marshall Islands), which has been the owner of the vessel since March 2024, and technical management was transferred to Queenship Ltd (China), which as of October 09, 2025, operates only one tanker, IMO 9224439. On October 15, 2025, the United Kingdom imposed sanctions on the vessel. Since October 24, 2025, the EU has imposed sanctions on the vessel.
