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

During the period when the G7 and EU oil embargo and the price cap policy on russian crude oil/petroleum products were in effect, the tanker was involved in the export of russian petroleum products from the ports of Novorossiysk, Vysotsk, and Ust-Luga to Turkey, Morocco, Brazil, Tunisia, Algeria, and Singapore.
The tanker is affiliated with the Turkish company Beks Tanker Isletmeciligi AS, which was the commercial and ISM manager of the vessel from November 2023 to March 2024. Beks Tanker Isletmeciligi AS is one of the top three ranking Turkish operators, which in 2023 provided transportation of hundreds of millions of barrels of Russian oil and oil products. The fleet of the Turkish top three - Beks Tanker Isletmeciligi AS and the sanctioned Beks Gemi Isletmeciligi ve Tic and Active Denizcilik ve Gemi - transported a total of 49 million barrels of Russian oil/oil products in 2023. Since March 2024, the tanker has been managed by the Turkish company Sand Gemi Isletmeciligi AS. Sand Gemi Isletmeciligi AS has the same legal address as two other Turkish ship managers, Tokyo Gemi Isletmeciligi AS and Cape Gemi Isletmeciligi AS. Eight tankers of these companies were operated by Beks Tanker Isletmeciligi AS in 2023 and early 2024, and one tanker was operated by the sanctioned Beks Gemi Isletmeciligi ve Tic.
On May 20, 2025, the EU imposed sanctions, which will enter into force on May 21, 2025, on the tanker for the transportation of crude oil/petroleum products originating in or exported from russia, using irregular high-risk shipping practices as specified in the International Maritime Organization General Assembly Resolution A.1192(33).
On June 03, 2025, the sanctions imposed by Switzerland on the vessel came into force.
On July 21, 2025, the United Kingdom imposed sanctions on the vessel.
Since December 13, 2025, Ukraine has imposed sanctions on the vessel.
On February 21, 2026, Ukraine imposed sanctions on the master of the vessel.
Since March 25, 2026, Canada has imposed sanctions on the vessel.
The tanker was also involved in supplying petroleum products to russia during the fuel crisis. In early September 2026, the tanker IMO 9299886 called at the port of Vysotsk to unload more than 29,000 metric tons of gasoline delivered from the Turkish port of Mersin. The russian company Pelagus LLC was involved in the delivery of this cargo.
