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.
After UK imposed sanctions in December 2023 on the former manager of the vessel, the operator of the "shadow fleet" - Radiating World Shipping Services LLC (UAE), the latter transferred its tankers to other newly established companies, including Alqutb Alshamali Marine Services LLC, to avoid sanctions.
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.
