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 G7 and EU oil embargo and price cap policy on russian crude oil/petroleum products, the tanker has been involved in the export of russian crude oil/petroleum products from russian ports in the Baltic, Black Seas, and Pacific region to third countries.
In September 2022 and January 2023, United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) included the tanker in a public list of vessels suspected of being involved in the transportation of sanctioned Iranian oil.
The vessel IMO 9337389 is affiliated with the sanctioned company Oceanlink Maritime DMCC, which was sanctioned by the United States on April 4, 2024, for facilitating the transport of Iranian goods on behalf of the Armed Forces General Staff (AFGS) and the Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics (MODAFL).
Oceanlink Maritime DMCC is part of a vast shipping empire controlled by sanctioned Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani. Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani is the son of Ali Shamkhani, chief political advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader and former Iranian defense minister. Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani uses corruption through his father's political influence at the highest levels of the Iranian regime to build and operate a vast fleet of tankers and container ships. This network transports oil and petroleum products from Iran and russia, as well as other cargo, to buyers around the world, generating tens of billions of dollars in profits. Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani's network consists of a huge fleet of ships, ship management companies, and front companies that launder billions in profits from global sales of Iranian and russian crude oil and petroleum products, most often to buyers in the PRC. The network takes significant measures to conceal its operations and obscure its ties to the Shamkhani family, Iran, and russia.
On April 4, 2024, the US imposed sanctions on the tanker. On May 21, 2025, the EU imposed sanctions on the vessel for transporting crude oil/petroleum products originating in or exported from russia, using irregular shipping practices with a high risk level, as specified in Resolution A.1192(33) of the International Maritime Organization.
Since June 3, 2025, Switzerland has imposed sanctions on the vessel.
In June 2025, Canada imposed sanctions on the vessel.
On July 21, 2025, the United Kingdom imposed sanctions on the vessel.
Since December 13, 2025, Ukraine has imposed sanctions on the vessel.
