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 embargoes and the price cap policy on russian crude oil and petroleum products are in effect, the tanker is involved in the export of russian crude oil from the ports of Ust-Luga, Primorsk, Novorossiysk, Murmansk, and Vostochny to India (Vadinar, Sikka, Mumbai), and China (Longkou, Tianjin, Zhoushan, Huizhou).
In June 2024, the tanker was involved in the export of russian crude oil from the Varandey field (seller PJSC Gazprom) to India via loading from the FSO Kola. In September 2024, the vessel transported russian crude oil "Novy Port" from the port of Murmansk to China (for Huizhou Refinery). In January and February 2025, the vessel transported ESPO russian crude oil from the port of Kozmino to China, and in April 2025 to India (sellers of russian liquid cargoes — PJSC Surgutneftegaz, PJSC NK Rosneft).
In February 2026, the tanker exported 100,000 metric tons of russian crude oil from the port of Ust-Luga to India (Vadinar).
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 Gatik's related companies, including Plutos Ship Management, Ark Seakonnect Shipmanagment LLC. Gatik Ship Management, Plutos Ship Management, Ark Seakonnect Shipmanagment LLC were the previous managers of the tanker. Since the beginning of russia's full-scale war against Ukraine, the Indian company Gatik Ship Management has become the largest carrier of russian oil and was used to operate the russian 'shadow' fleet under sanctions. The constant change of ship owners and managers to avoid sanctions and conceal the true beneficiaries of the ships is typical for the so-called 'shadow' fleet involved in the russian oil and oil products trade.
On October 17, 2024, the United Kingdom imposed sanctions on the tanker ІМО 9321691, in connection with the transportation of russian oil and/or oil products from the russian federation to third countries.
On February 21, 2025, Canada imposed sanctions on the vessel.
Since May 21 and June 3, 2025, the EU and Switzerland, respectively, have imposed sanctions on the vessel for transporting crude oil/petroleum products originating in or exported from rRussia, using irregular shipping practices with a high degree of risk, as specified in Resolution A.1192(33) of the General Assembly of the International Maritime Organization.
