Sanctioned tanker receives Russian cargo in STS transfer
The shadow tanker 'Andaman Skies' (IMO: 9288693), which is loaded with Russian oil and was barred by Indian authorities, is transferring its cargo to the Sao Tome and Principe-flagged tanker 'Ozanno'. The port authorities had barred the more than 20-year-old tanker from entering the port of Vadinar, as its seaworthiness certificate was not issued by an Indian-approved classification agency. Indian port entry rules require tankers that are more than 20 years old to hold seaworthiness certification by a member of the International Association of Classification Societies, or an entity authorised by India's maritime administration. The vessel, carrying about 100,000 metric tons (800,000 barrels) of Varandey Russian oil sold by Lukoil from the port of Murmansk, was stationary off the port of Mumbai. The 'Ozanno', which had left Sikka on March 29, 2025, is expected to deliver the cargo to Indian Oil Corporation at Vadinar next week and was stationary in pos. 18° 58' N 072° 24' E as of April 4. While the 'Andaman Skies' and 'Ozanno' are both subject to UK and European Union sanctions, they are not under sanctions by the United States or the United Nations. India adheres to United Nations sanctions.
