Justification
Vessel information
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 third countries.
The vessel is linked to Stream Ship Management FZCO, Sun Ship Management, Oil Tankers Scf Mgmt FZCO, affiliated with the sanctioned Sovcomflot, the largest state-owned shipping company in russia, a key company for servicing and supporting offshore hydrocarbon production, transportation of russian oil, oil products, liquefied natural gas amid sanctions restrictions on russia following its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The services provided by PJSC "Sovcomflot" are a significant source of income for the russian federation, since more than 70% of russia's income is from the sale of energy, which allows it to finance the war against Ukraine. The main charterers of "Sovcomflot" vessels are the largest oil and gas companies and traders of russia. "Sovcomflot" participates in the maintenance of large oil and gas projects in russia: "Sakhalin-1", "Sakhalin-2", "Varandey", "Pryrazlomnoye", "Novyy Port", "Yamal LNG", others. Before the full-scale russian invasion of Ukraine, the company's fleet consisted of about 145 vessels. After the application of sanctions, PJSC "Sovcomflot" transferred dozens of vessels to the ownership of companies it created, including those in foreign jurisdictions, in order to circumvent them, starting the practice of constant "juggling" (transferring) vessels to related companies. The tankers "transferred" by PJSC "Sovcomflot" to related companies are, according to experts, part of the so-called "shadow tanker fleet" of the russian federation to continue sales of russian oil, petroleum products, and liquefied gas under Western sanctions.
In 2023, the vessel delivered russian oil to China via the Northern Sea Route.
In July 2024, UK imposed sanctions on a vessel in connection with its involvement in the transportation of russian oil and/or petroleum products from the russian federation to third countries.
