DescriptionDuring 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 from russian ports to third countries. · Oil exports from russia are the most important source of income for the regime of the aggressor country to finance the war against Ukraine.
