Vessel:description | The shadow tanker fleet continues to generate multibillion-dollar revenues for the Kremlin by circumventing sanctions, disguising its activities under third-country flags, using complex schemes to conceal owners, and poses significant environmental safety hazards with significant economic costs to coastal countries and/or the international community due to the outdated and inadequately insured shadow fleet tankers. | ua_war_sanctions | ua-ws-7e1212705d7bf902d29dcb10a1634e2ffcada830 | ||||
Vessel:description | The tanker is affiliated with One Moon Marine Services LLC (UAE, under UK sanctions), a company affiliated with the sanctioned operators of the so-called 'shadow' fleet involved in the export of russian oil. After its establishment, One Moon Marine Services LLC 'received' a number of tankers, including the sanctioned vessel 'Ocean Amz', from the shadow fleet operators Radiating World Shipping Services and Voyages Shipping Services. Since November 2023, One Moon Marine Services LLC has started transporting russian oil without P&I insurance. Other vessels were transferred to Alqutb Ashamali Marine Services, Breath Shipping Services, etc. 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. | ua_war_sanctions | ua-ws-7e1212705d7bf902d29dcb10a1634e2ffcada830 | ||||
