Maritime logistics is critical for building up the aggressor`s military capabilities, moving troops, obtaining weapons and sanctioned items, and trafficking in stolen goods. Aggressors transport weapons through international straits on civilian merchant ships. Fossil fuel exports, bypassing sanctions, are 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 - Syria, Iran, and the DPRK.
Together we can stop this to restore peace and security
Actions to be taken:
  • to sanction the vessels on the list below, as well as all related companies and individuals (owners, operators, managers, executives, senior crew members)
  • to prohibit the entry of such vessels into ports, territorial waters, EEZs and international straits, and the sale of spare parts for them
 
  • to require bank statements to confirm compliance with the price-cap when receiving insurance and other services
  • to involve financial and specialized institutions in the gathering of evidence, to publish the results of investigations, and to apply real penalties, including significant fines

 Violation of the oil embargo
It is involved in the transportation of russian oil from russian ports to third countries in violation of the oil embargo. The vessel was repeatedly recorded by the Monitoring Group of the Black Sea Institute for Strategic Studies and the BlackSeaNews editorial board as exporting russian crude oil. In particular, the facts of the vessel's participation in the transportation of russian oil were recorded in April-June 2024 (from the russian ports of Tuapse and Novorossiysk to the Greek port of the Gulf of Lakonikos and the Turkish port of Diliskelesi). Earlier in April 2023, the vessel also transported crude oil and oil products from russian ports in the Black Seas. The vessel is owned and managed by Elizario Shipping Inc (Mauritius), whose fleet consists of this vessel only. This company is another owner and commercial manager of the oil tanker from the "shadow fleet". Until at least the end of July 2024, the ISM-manager of the vessel was the Turkish company Unic Tanker Ship Management, which managed nine oil and chemical tankers received from the Indian company Gatik Ship Management, an affiliate of the russian oil giant Rosneft and associated with the "shadow fleet" used by russia to export oil to circumvent sanctions. Gatik Ship Management has become the largest carrier of russian oil since the beginning of the full-scale war against Ukraine. The company was used to operate russia's "shadow fleet" of oil transport, and the British regulator Lloyd's Register has withdrawn the certification of 21 of the company's vessels. A major insurance company, American Club (USA), also announced that it no longer provides coverage for Gatik vessels. In June 2024, EU imposed sanctions on the vessel due to its involvement in the transportation of russian oil and/or oil products from russia to third countries, as well as its participation in the circumvention of european restrictions.

It is involved in the transportation of russian crude oil during the period of the G7 and EU oil embargo on russian oil. The vessel was transporting russian oil from russian ports to third countries, and was repeatedly recorded by the Monitoring Group of the black sea strategic studies Institute and the editorial board of BlackSeaNews as transporting russian crude oil. In particular, the facts of the vessel's participation in the transportation of russian oil were recorded in April 2024 (from the russian port of Novorossiysk to the Indian port of Paradip), in April-May 2022 (from the russian port of Kavkaz to the Spanish port of Ceuta). The vessel is linked to Stream Ship Management Fzco, Sun Ship Management, Oil Tankers Scf Mgmt Fzco, affiliated with the sanctioned Sovcomflot, the largest state-owned shipping company in russia, a key company for servicing and supporting offshore hydrocarbon production, transportation of russian oil, oil products and liquefied gas. The services provided by Sovcomflot are a significant source of income for the russian federation, as more than 70% of russia's revenues come from the sale of energy, which allows it to finance its war against Ukraine. The main charterers of Sovcomflot vessels are the largest oil and gas companies and traders in russia. Sovcomflot is involved in servicing major oil and gas projects in Russia: "Sakhalin-1, Sakhalin-2, Varandey, Prirazlomnoye, Novy Port, Yamal LNG, and others. Prior to russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the company's fleet consisted of about 145 vessels. After the sanctions were imposed, Sovcomflot transferred dozens of vessels to the ownership of companies it had set up, including in foreign jurisdictions, in order to circumvent them, and began the practice of constantly "juggling" (transferring) vessels to affiliated companies. According to expert estimates, the tankers transferred by Sovcomflot to related companies are part of the so-called "shadow tanker fleet" of the russian federation to continue selling russian oil, oil products, and liquefied natural gas under western sanctions. In July 2024, UK imposed sanctions on a vessel in connection with the transportation of russian oil and/or oil products from russia to third countries.
