Vessel information
The tanker is involved in the export of russian oil, including to EU countries in violation of the G7 and EU oil embargo, in particular, in June 2023 voyaged from the Black Sea port of Tuapse (russia) to transvesselment points off the coast of countries that have imposed an oil embargo on russian oil (Lakonikos Gulf, Greece); twice transported russian crude oil in violation of the G7 oil embargo from russian ports on the Black Sea to EU countries in May 2023 (from the port of Tuapse to Lakonikos Gulf, Greece).
The vessel affiliated with the beneficiaries of the sanctioned shipping company Hennesea Holdings Limited (UAE), founded in late 2022, operating in the maritime sector of the russian economy. Shortly before the entry into force of the price-cap policy, Hennesea acquired old tankers transporting russian crude oil and oil products and entering russian ports.
In January 2024, USA imposed sanctions to vessels affiliated with the beneficiaries of Hennesea.
