Reasons
Established in 2022, the company is one of the leading operators of the so-called ‘shadow’ fleet, which in early 2023 was among the three largest carriers of russian oil alongside Fractal Marine Shipping (UAE) and Gatik Ship Management (India). At that time, the fleet of Fractal Marine Shipping, Radiating World Shipping Services and Gatik Ship Management comprised about 90 tankers, 90% of which transported oil and oil products from the Baltic and Black Sea ports of russia to India, China, Turkey, the Middle East, Africa and South America.
In order to circumvent the sanctions, Radiating World Shipping Services ‘re-registered’ its fleet to related companies, in particular Alqutb Ashamali Marine Services (as of 15.09.2024, the company still has only one tanker, ‘Turbo Voyager’ (IMO 9299898)).
The ‘re-registered’ tankers remain flying the flag of the Cook Islands, which indicates the continuity of the beneficial owner of the vessels. The constant change of owners and managers of vessels to avoid sanctions and conceal the true beneficiaries of the vessels is a typical phenomenon for the so-called ‘shadow fleet’ involved in the russian oil and oil products trade.
Radiating World Shipping Services LLC is an involved person under the russia (Sanctions) Regulations 2019 on the following ground: Radiating World Shipping Services LLC is involved in obtaining a benefit from or supporting the Government of russia through carrying on business in a sector of strategic significance to the Government of russia, namely the russian energy sector.

 Transporting oil in violation of other restrictions
It is involved in the transportation of russian crude oil during the period of the G7 and EU oil embargo on russian oil. The vessel transported russian oil from russian ports to EU countries. The vessel has been repeatedly recorded by the Monitoring Group of the Black Sea Strategic Studies Institute and the BlackSeaNews editorial board as exporting russian crude oil. In particular, the facts of the vessel's participation in the transportation of russian oil were recorded in November 2023 (from the russian port of Kavkaz to the Turkish port of Izmir), December 2023 (from the russian port of Novorossiysk to the Turkish port of Marmara-Ereglisi), in June-July 2023 (from the russian port of Novorossiysk to the Turkish port of Tuzla). Before UK applied sanctions in December 2023 to the former manager of the vessel, the operator of the "shadow fleet" - Radiating World shipping Services LLC (UAE), the last one, in order to avoid sanctions, transferred its tankers to other newly created companies, including the Dubai company Almuhit Alhadi Marine Services LLC. In June-July 2024, UK and EU imposed sanctions on the vessel in connection with its involvement in the transportation of russian oil and/or oil products from the russian federation to third countries, as well as for its participation in the circumvention of European restrictions.
