Vessel information
The tanker, during the period of the G7+ oil embargo and the price cap policy on russian crude oil/petroleum products, is involved in the export of russian crude oil/petroleum products, in particular from russian ports in the Baltic and Black Seas, using deceptive, high-risk practices (disabling AIS, STS transmissions near Greece).
The tanker is affiliated with the Indian company Gatik Ship Management, one of the leading operators of the so-called “shadow” fleet involved in the transportation of russian crude oil under Western sanctions, and the company Galena Ship Management, which is affiliated with Gatik, which in 2023, together with Gaurik Ship Management LLP, Caishan Ship Management, Plutos Ship Management, Geras Ship Management, Girik Ship Management, Orion Ship Management LLP, Nautilus Shipping, Ark Seakonnect Shipmanagment LLC, Zidan Ship Management, was involved in a scheme to “juggle” vessels operated by Gatik Ship Management to avoid sanctions.
Gatik Ship Management and Galena Ship Management were the previous managers of the tanker. Tankers operated/managed by the Indian Gatik Ship Management continue to be used by related companies and call at russian ports.
The tanker IMO 9307815, which left the port of Ust-Luga on December 01, 2023, carried out an STS transfer of russian crude oil/petroleum products in January 2024 near Greece to the tanker IMO 9419151, affiliated with Gatik Ship Management.
On February 24, 2025, the United Kingdom imposed sanctions on the tanker as part of its restrictions on the russian shadow fleet.
