Askar-Sarydzha

The vessel is involved in the supply of military cargo to/from Iran from/to russia.
The vessel is owned by the sanctioned russian maritime shipping company MG-Flot LLC (previous name Transmorflot LLC).
MG-Flot LLC is linked to Astrakhan businessman Pashayev Jamaldin Emirmagomedovich, who built his business around the commercial port of Olya in the Astrakhan region. This place was proposed as a key logistic hub of the international transport corridor "North-South", the creation and construction of which was supervised and controlled by former russian Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov. The key purpose of the transportation corridor was to trade with sanctioned Iran, which could import and export goods via the North-South route.
During the execution of these maritime transportations, the russian company Navigator LLC (TIN: 3021000208), whose founder is Jamaldin Emirmagomedovich Pashayev, acted as a ship's agent. Thus, Pashayev continues to manage the organization of maritime transportation of military cargo to/from the russian port of Olya (Astrakhan region).
In May 2022, USA imposed sanctions on Transmorflot LLC and its vessels involved in the transportation of weapons for the russian federation.
