During the period of the G7+ oil embargo and the price cap policy on russian crude oil/petroleum products, the tanker is involved in the export of russian crude oil/petroleum products from russian ports in the Baltic and Black Seas, conducting deceptive, high-risk practices, including conducting dark activities with AIS disabled near the russian port of Ust-Luga.
The tanker is affiliated with Fractal Marine DMCC (UAE, under UK sanctions for its involvement in servicing the energy sector of the russian economy). Fractal Marine DMCC is considered to be one of the leading operators of the so-called shadow fleet involved in the export of russian crude oil/petroleum products under Western sanctions in 2022-2023. The shipping company Fractal Marine DMCC (UAE) was established shortly before the G7 countries introduced a price-cap policy on russian crude oil/petroleum products and played a significant role in the transportation of russian crude oil/petroleum products under sanctions restrictions.
The tanker is also affiliated with the sanctioned company Oceanlink Maritime DMCC (UAE), which was the commercial manager of the tanker from December 2023 to June 2024. Oceanlink Maritime DMCC is affiliated with the sanctioned fleet of 10 vessels (LNG tankers, crude oil tankers, oil product tankers) and was involved in the transportation of Iranian commodities on behalf of the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces (AFGS) and the Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics (MODAFL).
The tanker is also affiliated with Wanta Shipping LLC-FZ (UAE), which was the ISM manager of the tanker in 2024. Wanta Shipping LLC-FZ managed 20 vessels affiliated with Fractal Marine DMCC. A vessel from the Wanta Shipping LLC-FZ fleet loaded with russian oil was involved in an incident in the Baltic Sea that threatened environmental safety. In particular, on January 10, 2025, the 19-year-old tanker IMO 9308065, the safety management of which was provided by Wanta Shipping LLC-FZ, loaded with russian oil (99 thousand tons) in the port of Ust-Luga, lost control in the Baltic Sea. According to the German Havariekommando, the vessel's power supply system and engine failed, the ship lost its ability to maneuver and began to drift at low speed in the open sea near the island of Rügen. This incident once again demonstrates the growing threat of oil spills by outdated shadow fleet vessels.
Since 2023, the vessel's management has changed 4 times.
As of April 2025, the owner of the tanker is Lasiglia Investment Inc (Marshall Islands), and the ship's safety is managed by Tarabya Logistics LTD (UAE), which also manages nine tankers (one of which is under sanctions) affiliated with Fractal Marine DMCC (IMO 9252955, IMO 9282481, IMO 9282493 (under EU sanctions), IMO 9282508, IMO 9332171, IMO 9379301, IMO 9387279, IMO 9390587, IMO 9413004), as well as the tanker IMO 9299707, affiliated with the sanctioned PJSC Sovcomflot, the largest state-owned shipping company in russia that provides services and support for offshore hydrocarbon production, transportation of russian crude oil, petroleum products, liquefied natural gas, and is involved in servicing major oil and gas projects in russia: Sakhalin-1, Sakhalin-2, Varandey, Prirazlomnoye, Novy Port, Yamal LNG and others.
After the change of management, the tanker continues to make calls to the russian port of Ust-Luga in the Baltic Sea, participating in servicing the energy sector of the russian economy, which is a significant source of funding for the military budget of the aggressor country.
