The 23-year-old Adalynn sails under the Antigua and Barbuda flag and its insurer data are not on industry databases.
The vessel has been frequently sighted plowing the route between Russia’s Ust-Luga, in the Baltic Sea, and Vadinar on India’s west coast. Front Eagle is a 2020-built tanker sailing under the Liberian flag.
Emails sent to Oceanpack Ship Management, the listed owner of Adalynn went unanswered.
The article doesn’t say that the Adalynn is a sanctioned ship
opensanctions.org does say the Adalynn is sanctioned by Ukraine for “involved in the transportation of weapons, stolen Ukrainian products and in the circumvention of sanctions” an “entity of interest”, not on any sanctions lists, but citing Greenpeace labels the vessel as part of Russia’s shadow fleet.
Adalynn was, under a previous name, under US sanctions from March 2022 to September 2023, accused of being used for illicit shipments in support of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
