The tanker is involved in the export of russian oil, including to the EU, in violation of the G7 and EU oil embargo. In particular, the tanker exported russian crude oil twice in June 2023 to EU countries in violation of EU and G7 oil embargo from the port of Tuapse (russia) to the Gulf of Lakonikos (Greece).
The vessel affiliated with the beneficiaries of the sanctioned shipping company Hennesea Holdings Limited (UAE), founded in late 2022, operating in the maritime sector of the russian economy. Shortly before the entry into force of the price-cap policy, Hennesea acquired old tankers transporting russian crude oil and oil products and entering russian ports.
