Vessel:description | The vessel through Thunder Shipmanagement LLC-FZ, Avebury Shipmanagment LLC-FZ, Fornax Ship Management, Sun Ship Management, Oil Tankers Scf Mgmt FZCO, affiliated with the sanctioned PJSC Sovcomflot - the largest state-owned shipping company in russia, a key company for the maintenance and provision of offshore hydrocarbon extraction, transportation of russian oil, petroleum products, and liquefied gas against the background of the application of sanctions restrictions to the russian federation after its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The services provided by PJSC Sovcomflot are a significant source of income for the russian federation, since more than 70% of russia's income is from the sale of energy, which allows it to finance the war against Ukraine. The main charterers of Sovcomflot vessels are the largest oil and gas companies and traders of russia. "Sovcomflot" participates in the maintenance of large oil and gas projects in russia: "Sakhalin-1", "Sakhalin-2", "Varandey", "Pryrazlomnoye", "Novyy Port", "Yamal LNG", others. Before the full-scale russian invasion of Ukraine, the company's fleet consisted of about 145 vessels. After the application of sanctions, PJSC Sovcomflot transferred dozens of vessels to the ownership of companies it created, including those in foreign jurisdictions, in order to circumvent them, starting the practice of constant "juggling" (transferring) vessels to related companies. The tankers "transferred" by PJSC Sovcomflot to related companies are, according to experts, part of the so-called "shadow tanker fleet" of the russian federation to continue sales of russian oil, petroleum products, and liquefied gas under Western sanctions. | ua_war_sanctions | ua-ws-572cf8eed5bd98e790b4c09fc8dc87573491a7e5 | ||||
