During the G7 and EU oil embargo and price cap policy on russian oil / petroleum products, the tanker was involved in the export of russian oil / petroleum products.
The vessel is affiliated with Maritas Fleet PVT LTD (India), which was the operator of the tanker. Maritas Fleet PVT LTD was founded in December 2022 in Mumbai and has acquired 29 tankers, including vessels owned by Hennesea Holdings Limited. Hennesea Holdings Limited was founded in late 2022 in the UAE and, shortly before the introduction of the price cap policy, acquired more than 20 old tankers that were focused on transporting russian crude oil at a price higher than $60 per barrel. In January 2024, the US imposed sanctions on Hennesea Holdings Limited and part of its tanker fleet for violating the price cap policy.
Since July 2025, the tanker has been managed by Lumen Ship Management FZCO, whose fleet as of October 16, 2025, consists of eight oil tankers, including those under sanctions, which previously belonged to Hennesea Holdings Limited and were managed by the Indian company Maritas Fleet PVT LTD.
After the change in management, the vessel continues to transport russian oil / petroleum products. Between January 2024 and July 2025, the tanker transported approximately 1 million barrels of russian oil / petroleum products.
Since October 24, 2025, the EU has imposed sanctions on the vessel.
Since December 13, 2025, Switzerland has imposed sanctions on the vessel.
Since December 13, 2025, Ukraine has imposed sanctions on the vessel.
On February 24, 2026, the United Kingdom imposed sanctions on the vessel.
On June 12, 2026, Canada imposed sanctions on the vessel.
