KHALASI

During the period of the G7 and EU oil embargo and the price cap policy on russian crude oil/petroleum products, the tanker was systematically involved in the export of russian crude oil/petroleum products from russian ports in the Black Sea, Arctic and Pacific regions, including with the AIS turned off.
In June, July, September, and October 2023, the tanker was involved in the export of several shipments of russian oil products (nearly 120 thousand tons in total) from the russian port of Tuapse, where the production complex belonging to the sanctioned PJSC Rosneft Oil Company, the Tuapse Oil Refinery with a marine terminal, is located. The sender of the cargoes was the sanctioned russian company Rosneft (one shipment), Amur Trading FZCO (three shipments), and the recipient was Tejarinaft FZCO and Tüpras Türkiye Petrol Rafinerileri A.Ş.
Since January 2024, the tanker has been involved in the export of russian crude oil/petroleum products from the russian ports of Slavianka and Vanino to the Pacific region.
The tanker is affiliated with the Indian companies Maritas Fleet PVT LTD, which was the former ISM manager of the tanker, and Bravo Ship Management Pvt Ltd, which was the former commercial manager of the vessel. Maritas Fleet PVT LTD and Bravo Ship Management Pvt Ltd are associated with the management of tankers affiliated with the sanctioned company Hennesea Holdings Limited (UAE), which shortly before the price cap policy came into force acquired 18 oil tankers transporting russian sanctioned crude oil/petroleum products and was sanctioned by the United States for violating the price cap.
