Vessel information
During the period of the G7 and EU oil embargo and the price cap on russian oil, the tanker is involved in the export of russian oil from russian ports, in particular in the Baltic and Black Seas, mainly to India.
On September 30, 2024, the Houthis, mistaking the ship for a British vessel, attacked a tanker in the Red Sea with a UAV, which led to a fire on the ship. The outdated tanker, which was sailing from the Turkish port of Yalova to the russian port of Novorossiysk in the Black Sea, was involved in the blocking of the Bosphorus Strait due to engine failure near Cape Yenikey in late December 2024.
The international public organization Greenpeace refers to the tanker as a shadowy fleet of tankers transporting russian oil around the world and threatening the environment.
The tanker is affiliated with the Indian company Margao Marine Solutions OPC, with which the sanctioned shadow tanker IMO 9402471 (formerly Feng Shou, Andromeda Star) is affiliated.
On May 09, 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.
In June 2025, Canada imposed sanctions on the vessel.
