It is involved in the transportation of russian oil from russian ports to third countries. In particular, Kpler analysts tracked the vessel's movement using the AIS system and found that the vessel arrived in the russian port of Nakhodka on 26.10.2023 and was loaded with diesel or oil on 01.11.2023. The vessel then arrived at the port of Singapore on 10.11.2023, from where it departed empty on 14.11.2023. The vessel is part of a group of tankers operated by the Turkish company Beks Ship Management and Trading, which was sanctioned by the United Kingdom in early 2024. After the sanctions were imposed, the vessels of this Turkish company changed managers and flags and continued to transport russian oil. In June 2024, EU imposed sanctions on the vessel due to its involvement in the transportation of russian oil and/or oil products from russia to third countries, as well as for its participation in the circumvention of european restrictions. On October 17, 2024, Switzerland imposed sanctions on the vessel in response to the transportation of oil/oil products originating from russia or exported from russia, using irregular and high-risk shipping practices, as specified in the resolution of the General Assembly of the International Maritime Organization A.1192(33). In June 2025, Canada imposed sanctions on the vessel.
