NS Commander

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 was repeatedly recorded by the Monitoring Group of the Black Sea Institute for Strategic Studies 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 April 2023, as well as in April and June-July 2024 (from the russian ports of Ust-Luga and Novorossiysk to the Indian port of Paradip).
The vessel is owned by Astrea Shipping Ltd, managed by Stream Ship Management Fzco, with Sun Ship Management and Oil Tankers Scf Mgmt Fzco among its former managers, are affiliated with the sanctioned PJSC Sovcomflot, the largest state-owned shipping company in russia, a key company for servicing and supporting offshore hydrocarbon extraction, transportation of russian oil, oil products, and liquefied gas amidst the application of sanctions restrictions to russia after its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The services provided by Sovcomflot are a significant source of income for russia, as more than 70% of russia's revenues come from the sale of energy, which allows it to finance its war against Ukraine.
The main charterers of Sovcomflot's vessels are russia's largest oil and gas companies and traders. Sovcomflot is involved in servicing major oil and gas projects in russia: "Sakhalin-1, Sakhalin-2, Varandey, Prirazlomnoye, Novy Port, Yamal LNG, and others. Prior to russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the company's fleet consisted of about 145 vessels. After the sanctions were imposed, Sovcomflot transferred dozens of vessels to the ownership of companies it had set up, including in foreign jurisdictions, in order to circumvent them, and began the practice of constantly "juggling" (transferring) vessels to affiliated companies. According to expert estimates, the tankers transferred by Sovcomflot to related companies are part of the so-called "shadow tanker fleet" of the russian federation to continue selling russian oil, oil products, and liquefied natural gas under western sanctions.
In July 2024, UK imposed sanctions on a vessel in connection with the transportation of russian oil and/or oil products from russia to third countries.
