STRATOS AURORA

During the period of the G7 and EU oil embargo and the price-cap policy on russian oil, the tanker is involved in the export of russian oil (oil products) to third countries.
The vessel is affiliated with Alqutb Alshamali Marine Services LLC (UAE), a company with a non-transparent organizational and ownership structure that manages two sanctioned oil tankers, 'KELLY GRACE' (IMO 9331141, formerly 'Vela Rain'), 'DELVINA' (IMO 9331153, formerly 'GALIAN 2'), which are affiliated with one of the leading operators of the so-called 'shadow' fleet - the sanctioned company Radiating World Shipping Services LLC as the previous manager of the tankers. In order to circumvent the sanctions, Radiating World Shipping Services 're-registered' its fleet to related companies, in particular, Alqutb Ashamali Marine Services. The constant change of owners and managers of vessels to avoid sanctions and conceal the true beneficiaries of the vessels is typical for the so-called 'shadow' fleet involved in the russian oil and oil products trade.
On October 17, 2024, the United Kingdom imposed sanctions on tankers of the russian so-called 'shadow' fleet, including the tanker 'STRATOS AURORA'.
