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 involved in transporting weapons from Iran to russia for use in the war against Ukraine.
The vessel is owned by the sanctioned russian shipping company MG-Flot LLC (formerly Transmorflot LLC). MG-Flot LLC is associated with Astrakhan businessman Jamaldin Emirmagomedovich Pashayev, who built his business around the Olya trade port in Astrakhan region (he owns/controls a network of companies operating in the Olya port). This particular location was proposed as a key logistics hub for the North-South international transport corridor, the creation and construction of which was overseen and controlled by former russian Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov. The key purpose of the transport corridor was to trade with sanctioned Iran, which could import and export goods via the North-South route. Pashayev's companies have been involved in russian exports of military goods since 2021, and have concluded more than 200 agreements on the sea transportation of military goods to countries around the world. Pashayev and his companies are an integral part of the ongoing transfer of goods to the sanctioned russian JSC ‘SEZ PVT Alabuga’, one of the main plants for the assembly of UAVs with the support of Iran for the needs of the russian Ministry of Defence.
The vessel ‘Port Olya-4’ regularly sails the Caspian Sea, transporting cargo between Iran and russia.
On 10 September 2024, USA imposed sanctions on the vessel as the property of the sanctioned MG-Flot LLC.
On August 14, 2025, a ship loaded with components for Shahed-type UAVs and ammunition from Iran was hit by an attack on the port of Olya (Astrakhan region, russian federation) by the Ukrainian Defense Forces.
On May 23, 2026, Ukraine imposed sanctions on the vessel.
