The international NGO Greenpeace refers to the tanker as part of the shadow fleet of tankers that transport russian oil around the world and threaten the environment.
Before United Kingdom applied sanctions in December 2023 to the former manager of the vessel, the operator of the "shadow fleet" - Radiating World shipping Services LLC (UAE), the last one, in order to avoid sanctions, transferred its tankers to other newly created companies, including the Dubai company Almuhit Alhadi Marine Services LLC, the Indian company Atos Remote Solutions.
In July 2024, UK imposed sanctions on a vessel in connection with its involvement in the transportation of russian oil and/or petroleum products from the russian federation to third countries.
On February 24, 2025, as part of the restrictions on the russian shadow fleet, the EU imposed sanctions on the tanker for transporting crude oil/oil products originating in or exported from russia using irregular and high-risk shipping practices as specified in the International Maritime Organization General Assembly resolution A.1192 (33) (sanctions will enter into force on February 25, 2025).
