DescriptionDuring the period of the G7 embargo and price-cap policy on russian oil, the tanker is involved in the export of russian oil from the russian ports of Ust-Luga, Primorsk in the Baltic Sea, Novorossiysk, Taman, and Zhelezny Rog in the Black Sea, Kozmino in the Pacific region, mainly to Turkey, China, and India, and resorts to the practice of turning off the AIS signal and conducting so-called 'dark activities' at sea, including in the Kerch Strait area in the Black Sea. · On January 10, 2025, USA imposed sanctions on the vessel. · 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 vessel is Symi Shipping LTD, whose address in the Equasis database is 80 Broad Street, Monrovia, Liberia. This address in Liberia is common to other companies affiliated with shadowy oil tankers. · The tanker is affiliated with Chemul Ships Management Co LTD (the company's address in the Equasis database is listed in the World Trade Tower in Shandong, China). Chemul Ships Management Co LTD operates another tanker, 'Spirit Of Casper' (IMO 9224271), which has been found to be involved in shadow trading activities, using deceptive shipping practices described in US government guidelines, which were often used during Iranian shipments off the coasts of Oman and the UAE to avoid detection of cargoes being loaded through ship-to-ship transfers in international waters. · 2 more...[sources]
