During the period of the G7 and EU oil embargo and the price-cap policy on russian oil, the tanker was involved in the export of oil to third countries from russian ports, resorting to the practice of turning off the AIS signal, conducting so-called 'dark activities' at sea.
The international NGO Greenpeace refers to the tanker as part of the shadow fleet of tankers that transport russian oil around the world and threaten the environment.
The vessel is certified by the Chinese regulator China Classification Society (IACS).
The tanker is affiliated with One Moon Marine Services LLC (UAE), which was sanctioned by the United Kingdom on June 13, 2024, due to the company's involvement in benefiting from or supporting the russian government by doing business in a sector of strategic importance to the russian government, namely the russian energy sector.
Since November 2023, One Moon Marine Services LLC has started transporting russian oil without P&I insurance.
One Moon Marine Services LLC is affiliated with the so-called 'shadow' fleet operators Radiating World Shipping Services and Star Voyages Shipping Services. In order to circumvent the sanctions imposed on the shadow fleet operators, in particular, Radiating World Shipping Services and Star Voyages Shipping Services, the operators 're-registered' their fleet to six related companies, in particular, four tankers (including the sanctioned 'OZANNO' (former name 'Ocean Amz')) were transferred to the newly established One Moon Marine Services LLC. 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 so-called 'shadow fleet' involved in the russian oil and oil products trade.
The "'shadow fleet' of the russian federation continues to provide multibillion-dollar revenues for the kremlin bypassing sanctions, disguising its activities under the flags of third countries, using complex schemes to conceal owners, and poses significant threats to environmental safety with significant economic costs for coastal countries and/or the international community due to the outdated and inadequate insurance of shadow fleet tankers.
