GRUMANT

The vessel is systematically involved in schemes of stealing grain from the TOT of Ukraine (Sevastopol), violating the legal regime of the TOT of Ukraine using deceptive shipping practices (spoofing, manipulating AIS), as well as concealing the true identification data of the vessel, in particular when passing through the Bosphorus Strait (masking the IMO number and part of the vessel's name) to transport Ukrainian grain and raw materials from the TOT of Ukraine.
Since February 2024, the vessel has made a number of routes and transported more than 78 million tonnes of wheat from the temporarily occupied city of Sevastopol to the Syrian ports of Tartus and Latakia.
The sender of the grain is the russian company Pallada LLC (TIN: 6161095847), which was founded on 03 February 2022 and specialises in wholesale grain trading, while in Syria the grain is received by the Syrian General Organisation for Trading, Storage and Processing of Grain, a state-owned company.
In the period from December 17-31, 2024, the vessel was loaded with grain in the temporarily occupied port of Feodosia, and later delivered it to Egypt.
