Justification
Vessel information
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 to third countries from russian ports, in particular in the Baltic Sea, including with the AIS disabled.
The tanker is affiliated with Galena Ship Management and Ark Seakonnect Shipmanagment, which were the former ISM managers of the vessel in 2023. Galena Ship Management, Ark Seakonnect Shipmanagement are among a number of other companies involved in the 'juggling' of shadow fleet vessels associated with the Indian company Gatik Ship Management, one of the leading operators of the so-called 'shadow' fleet, which has become the largest carrier of russian oil under sanctions since the beginning of the full-scale war against Ukraine.
The constant change of owners and managers of vessels to avoid sanctions and conceal the true beneficiaries of the vessels is a typical phenomenon for the '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 'ANTAEUS', in connection with the transportation of russian oil and/or oil products from russia to third countries.
