Maritime logistics is critically important for building up the aggressor`s military capabilities, moving troops, obtaining weapons and sanctioned goods, and trading stolen goods. Aggressors transport weapons through international straits on civilian merchant vessels. Exporting fossil fuels to circumvent sanctions is the main source of income for russia and Iran. The shadow tanker fleet and ships without ice class in the Arctic threaten an environmental disaster. Through the sale of agricultural products from the temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories, russia finances the war and maintains the loyalty of its allies, Iran and the DPRK.
Together we can stop this to restore peace and security

The vessel is designed to carry out a range of hydrographic and hydrological research in the world’s oceans, including in tropical and Arctic regions. It was originally built as a hydrographic research vessel. After its modernisation, it is capable of performing geophysical surveys and other types of studies, including pipeline route surveys, seabed inspections, hydrographic charting, and engineering, geological, or environmental sampling.
The vessel is owned and operated by the sanctioned russian company FSUE Hydrographic Enterprise (ФДУП "Гидрографическое предприятие"), which operates one of the largest dredging fleets in russia. It is the only entity in russia that produces and provides navigation information for the Northern Sea Route, primarily to large crude oil and LNG tankers, covering the most navigationally challenging sections of the route. FSUE Hydrographic Enterprise has conducted dredging operations for a number of major russian energy projects, including the Vostok Oil project.
In May 2023, the United States imposed sanctions on four research vessels operated by FSUE Hydrographic Enterprise, including the vessel IMO 7423275, as part of a broader designation package targeting entities involved in expanding russia’s future electricity generation and export capacity in strategic sectors.
