Vessel:description | The tanker, during the period of the G7 and EU oil embargo and the price cap policy on russian crude oil/petroleum products, is involved in the export of russian oil/petroleum products using deceptive, high-risk practices (disabling AIS, conducting dark activities near russian ports in the Black Sea, in the area south of the Kerch Strait, including in the area near the ports of the TOT Crimea of Ukraine, conducting STS transmissions with russian affiliations near European countries). In particular, in June 2025, near Cyprus, the vessel made an STS transmission with the sanctioned tanker of the russian shadow fleet IMO 9258026, while the tanker IMO 9384095 arrived in the Cyprus area from the area near the russian port of Tuapse, where it had been conducting dark activities for a long time in May 2025. The tanker is affiliated with the Moldovan company MRC Shipmanagement SRL, which was the technical manager of the vessel from March 2023 to December 2024, while in May 2023 the owner of the vessel became New Star Marine Ltd (IMO 6392551), 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 December 2024, the ISM management of the vessel has been transferred to Tidal Tech Mariners LLC (Azerbaijan), while the owning company has not changed, which may indicate that the beneficiary of the vessel has not changed. As of June 09, 2025, Tidal Tech Mariners LLC provides ISM management of three more oil tankers of the russian shadow fleet - two sanctioned tankers IMO 9261657, IMO 9290921 and IMO 9265873. After the change of management, the tanker IMO 9384095 continues to export russian crude oil/petroleum products. 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. Since October 24, 2025, the EU has imposed sanctions on the vessel. | ua_war_sanctions | ua-ws-vessel-1030 | ||||
