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 crude oil/petroleum products, including through STS transfers in September 2024 near Greece with tankers of the russian shadow fleet (IMO 9251456, IMO 9299123, which have been under sanctions since May 2025). The tanker makes calls at the Sheskharis terminal (Novorossiysk), in particular in December 2024. The Sheskharis terminal is a transshipment complex, the end point of the main pipelines of Chernomortransneft JSC (TIN 2315072242, under USA sanctions), a subsidiary of the sanctioned russian Transneft PJSC (TIN 7706061801). The tanker is linked to illegal shipments of Iranian oil. The tanker is affiliated with the sanctioned company Eco Max FZE (UAE), which manages tankers associated with the illegal supply of Iranian oil through its fleet (in particular, the sanctioned tanker IMO 9220938), as well as sanctioned tankers of the russian shadow fleet (IMO 9236755, IMO 9236755). In October 2024, the United States imposed sanctions on the tanker as property in which the sanctioned company Eco Max FZE has an interest. From July 20, 2025, the EU imposed sanctions on a tanker for transporting crude oil/petroleum products that originate in russia or are exported from russia using irregular and high-risk shipping practices as set out in the International Maritime Organization General Assembly resolution A.1192 (33). On August 12, 2025, Switzerland imposed sanctions on the vessel.
