Marine Vessels

During the period of the G7 and EU oil embargo and the price-cap policy on russian oil, the tanker is involved in the export of russian oil (oil products) to third countries.
The vessel is affiliated with one of the leading operators of the so-called 'shadow' fleet, the sanctioned company Radiating World Shipping Services LLC, as the previous manager of the tankers. In order to circumvent the sanctions, Radiating World Shipping Services 're-registered' its fleet to related companies. The constant change of owners and managers of vessels to avoid sanctions and conceal the true beneficiaries of the vessels is typical for the so-called 'shadow' fleet involved in the russian oil and oil products trade.

During the G7+ oil embargo and price cap policy on russian crude oil/petroleum products, the tanker is involved in the export of russian crude oil/petroleum products from russian ports to third countries.
In January and October 2024, the tanker transported wet cargo (Urals crude oil) of PJSC "NK Rosneft" from the port of Primorsk to India (for Vadinar Refinery). In May 2024, the tanker exported crude oil (seller in particular, PJSC Lukoil) from the Sheshkharis terminal of the port of Novorossiysk for export to India (for Jamnagar Refinery).
In February 2025, the tanker transported wet cargo (Urals crude oil) of PJSC "NK "Rosneft" from the port of Primorsk to India (for Jamnagar Refinery).
The tanker's previous managers were the Turkish company Unic Tanker Ship Management, which managed oil and chemical tankers received from the Indian company Gatik Ship Management, one of the leading operators of the "shadow" fleet, and Gatik Ship Management itself. Since the start of russia's full-scale war against Ukraine, the Indian company Gatik Ship Management has become the largest transporter of russian oil and has been used to operate the russian "shadow" fleet under sanctions.
Constant changes in ship owners and managers in order to avoid sanctions and conceal the true beneficiaries of the ships are typical for the so-called "shadow" fleet involved in russian trade in oil and oil products.

On April 11, 2025, according to the Estonian Navy, the sanctioned tanker IMO 9332810, which was flying no flag, was sailing from the Indian port of Sikka to the russian port of Ust-Luga and was detained in Estonian waters for the purpose of checking the ship's documents and its legal status. There were 24 crew members on board, and the master was a Chinese citizen. The Estonian Navy found more than 40 violations, including sailing without a valid flag. After the ship rectified these violations, it was released.
On June 19, 2025, New Zealand imposed sanctions on the vessel.
Between September 22 and 25, 2025, the tanker was off the coast of Denmark and may have been involved in the launch of UAVs spotted over Danish military facilities. On the night of September 22, 2025, three large UAVs flew over Copenhagen Airport, turning their lights on and off, causing the airport to close for nearly four hours. Oslo Airport in Norway was also closed for approximately three hours after a single UAV was spotted. The Danish Armed Forces and the National Operations Headquarters, as well as partners from Sweden and Norway, were involved in the investigation. According to law enforcement officials, the UAVs approached from different directions and were spotted at several locations. One theory is that the UAVs were launched from a ship or ships near Denmark, giving the country's military limited time to respond. Although the identity of the UAVs is not definitively known, such UAVs can be launched from a catapult that can be easily transported on a large sea vessel. The Danish Air Service of the Security and Intelligence Service and the Copenhagen Police described the flights as "professionally executed" and demonstratively provocative. Based on previous involvement in suspicious activity and suspected presence in the area, the investigation is focusing on three ships that could have been used as launch platforms, including the Russian-flagged Astrol 1 (IMO 9906544), which was passing through the Øresund strait at the time, Boracay (IMO 9332810), identified as a tanker belonging to the russian shadow fleet, which was approximately 80 kilometers from the airport at the time of the incident, and Oslo Carrier 3 (IMO 9366146), a cargo ship with a russian crew, which was passing just seven kilometers north of the airport at the very moment when the UAVs were detected over the airport. Tanker IMO 9332810 was moving south along the west coast of Denmark on the evening of September 24, 2025, when other UAVs were reported flying north of the city of Esbjerg and near several nearby airports. On October 1, 2025, tanker IMO 9332810 was en route from the russian oil terminal in Primorsk near St. Petersburg, carrying 750,000 barrels of crude oil, to Vadinar in India. Off the coast of Brittany in northwestern France, the tanker was intercepted by a French naval vessel and redirected to Saint-Nazaire in western France for inspection by the French authorities due to "suspicion of violation". It was reported that the Brest prosecutor's office is investigating the tanker's case due to "the absence of documents confirming the nationality of the vessel and its flag", as well as "refusal to comply with the instructions of the authorities". The French authorities temporarily detained two members of the tanker's crew — the ship's master and his first mate (the master is a citizen of the PRC, the crew are citizens of the PRC, Myanmar, and Bangladesh. Shortly before leaving the port of Ust-Luga, two russian citizens named Alexander and Maxim joined the crew as technical workers. One of them is a former police officer who previously worked for the russian private military company Wagner. These russian citizens do not have social media profiles, and their actions on board the tanker IMO 9332810 are unclear). On October 3, 2025, the ship continued its course. The President of France did not confirm the ship's involvement in the launch of the UAV in Denmark. At the same time, it is known that Denmark is investigating the involvement of tanker IMO 933281 in the launch of the UAV.

During the G7 and EU oil embargo and price cap policy on russian crude oil, the tanker is involved in transporting russian crude oil from russian ports in the Baltic, Black Sea, and Pacific regions to third countries, in some cases with disabled AIS.
In 2024 and 2025, the tanker transported russian crude oil sold by PJSC Surgutneftegaz and PJSC NK Rosneft to India.
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.

The tanker is affiliated with Galena Ship Management and Ark Seakonnect Shipmanagment, which were the former ISM managers of the vessel in 2023. Galena Ship Management, Ark Seakonnect Shipmanagement are among a number of other companies involved in the 'juggling' of shadow fleet vessels associated with the Indian company Gatik Ship Management, one of the leading operators of the so-called 'shadow' fleet, which has become the largest carrier of russian oil under sanctions since the beginning of the full-scale war against Ukraine.
The constant change of owners and managers of vessels to avoid sanctions and conceal the true beneficiaries of the vessels is a typical phenomenon for the 'shadow' fleet involved in the russian oil and oil products trade.

During the period of the G7 and EU oil embargo and the price-cap policy on russian crude oil, the tanker is involved in the export of russian crude oil to third countries from russian ports, including with the AIS system disabled.
The international NGO Greenpeace refers to the tanker as part of the shadow fleet of tankers that transport russian oil around the world and threaten the environment.
The owner and commercial manager of the tanker since October 01, 2024 is an unknown company YO SHUI MARINE LIMITED, established on September 19, 2024 in Hong Kong. The ISM-manager of the tanker is the Indian company AMSHA MARITIME, which manages another tanker 'LACONIA' (IMO 9257022), affiliated with the Indian company Gatik Ship Management.
The tanker 'KRISHNA 1' is also affiliated with the Indian company Gatik Ship Management, one of the leading operators of the so-called 'shadow fleet', which has become the largest carrier of russian oil under sanctions since the beginning of the full-scale war against Ukraine.
Tankers operated/managed by India's Gatik Ship Management continue to be used by related companies and call at russian ports.
As sanctions are being imposed, russia uses a scheme of "juggling" ships between related companies to conceal oil exports outside the price cap and other restrictions, as well as to hide the real owners of ships, and to ensure unimpeded transportation of fossil fuels by a 'shadow' fleet of obsolete oil tankers, creates new companies for these purposes (in the UAE, Hong Kong, India, Turkey, Mauritius, Seychelles, and other jurisdictions) with non-transparent organizational and ownership structures. In order to implement this scheme, technical/commercial management and ship owners are constantly changing, and vessels are renamed with a change of flag, MMSI, call-sign, including for sanctioned vessels. Shadow fleet vessels operate under "convenient flags", which allows them to conceal their true origin and avoid control by international organizations and insurance companies.
Almost all vessels that are involved in the transportation of russian oil by the shadow fleet since 2022 have been certified by the Indian regulator Indian Register of Shipping (IACS). The certification of shadow fleet vessels allows the shipowner/operator to insure the vessels, which, in turn, allows the vessels to enter ports and pass through various specific sea routes (straits, canals, etc.).
The 'shadow' fleet, transporting huge volumes of crude oil through heavily trafficked routes through narrow straits close to the coastline, without proper P&I insurance, with automatic identification systems disabled, threatens an environmental disaster with significant economic costs to be borne by the affected coastal countries and/or the international community. The recent incidents off Malaysia only underscore the need for swift action to curb the potentially devastating impact of the growing 'shadow fleet'. 'Shadow' tankers have already been involved in 50 incidents from the Danish Straits all the way to Malaysia since russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
According to CREA, from January to August 2024, the number of shadow tankers crossing the Danish Straits in Europe increased by 277% compared to the same period in 2022, with 64% of the 46 million tons of russian marine oil transported through the Danish Straits being transported by shadow tankers. In the same period, the number of shadow tankers in the Straits of Dover and Gibraltar increased by 355% compared to 2022, transporting 67% of the 37 million tons of oil through the straits. The Suez Canal experienced a staggering 649% increase in shadow tanker traffic, with 69% of the 52 million tons of russian crude oil passing through it being transported by these vessels.
Thus, the 'shadow fleet' of the russian federation continues to provide multibillion-dollar revenues for the kremlin bypassing sanctions, disguising its activities under the flags of third countries, using complex schemes to conceal owners, and poses significant threats to environmental safety with significant economic costs for coastal countries and/or the international community due to the outdated and inadequate insurance of shadow fleet tankers.
On December 16, 2024, the EU imposed sanctions on the tanker (effective from December 17, 2024) due to the transportation of crude oil or petroleum products originating in or exported from russia, using irregular high-risk shipping practices as set out in the International Maritime Organization General Assembly Resolution A.1192(33); in relation to contributing to, supporting actions or policies aimed at the exploitation, development or expansion of the energy sector in russia, including energy infrastructure.
