DescriptionThe tanker is involved in the export of russian oil (oil products) from russian ports, in particular in the Baltic Sea, to third countries. The vessel is affiliated with the UAE-based sanctioned company Radiating World Shipping Services LLC. The company was established in 2022, is one of the leading operators of the so-called ‘shadow’ fleet, and in early 2023 was one of the three largest carriers of russian oil, along with Fractal Marine Shipping (UAE) and Gatik Ship Management (India). At that time, the fleet of Fractal Marine Shipping, Radiating World Shipping Services and Gatik Ship Management comprised about 90 tankers, 90% of which transported oil and oil products from the Baltic and Black Sea ports of russia to India, China, Turkey, the Middle East, Africa and South America. In December 2023, the United Kingdom imposed sanctions on Radiating World Shipping Services LLC (UAE), which is transferring its tankers to other newly established related companies to avoid sanctions. 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. On 17 October 2024, the United Kingdom imposed sanctions on tankers of the russian so-called ‘shadow’ fleet, including the tanker ІМО 9299898, in connection with the transportation of russian oil and/or oil products from the russian federation to third countries. 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. On December 23, 2024, Switzerland imposed sanctions on the vessel 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. On February 21, 2025, Canada imposed sanctions on the vessel. On June 19, 2025, New Zealand imposed sanctions on the vessel.[sources]
