| Description | In July 2024, UK imposed sanctions on a vessel in connection with the transportation of russian oil and/or oil products from russia to third countries. · It is involved in the transportation of russian crude oil during the period of the G7 and EU oil embargo on russian oil. The vessel was transporting russian oil from russian ports to third countries, and was repeatedly recorded by the Monitoring Group of the black sea strategic studies Institute and the editorial board of BlackSeaNews as transporting russian crude oil. In particular, the facts of the vessel's participation in the transportation of russian oil were recorded in April 2024 (from the russian port of Novorossiysk to the Indian port of Paradip), in April-May 2022 (from the russian port of Kavkaz to the Spanish port of Ceuta). · The vessel is linked to Stream Ship Management Fzco, Sun Ship Management, Oil Tankers Scf Mgmt Fzco, affiliated with the sanctioned Sovcomflot, the largest state-owned shipping company in russia, a key company for servicing and supporting offshore hydrocarbon production, transportation of russian oil, oil products and liquefied gas. The services provided by Sovcomflot are a significant source of income for the russian federation, as more than 70% of russia's revenues come from the sale of energy, which allows it to finance its war against Ukraine. The main charterers of Sovcomflot vessels are the largest oil and gas companies and traders in russia. Sovcomflot is involved in servicing major oil and gas projects in Russia: "Sakhalin-1, Sakhalin-2, Varandey, Prirazlomnoye, Novy Port, Yamal LNG, and others. Prior to russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the company's fleet consisted of about 145 vessels. After the sanctions were imposed, Sovcomflot transferred dozens of vessels to the ownership of companies it had set up, including in foreign jurisdictions, in order to circumvent them, and began the practice of constantly "juggling" (transferring) vessels to affiliated companies. According to expert estimates, the tankers transferred by Sovcomflot to related companies are part of the so-called "shadow tanker fleet" of the russian federation to continue selling russian oil, oil products, and liquefied natural gas under western sanctions. | [sources] | |||
