Ownership & Management
LYSANDRAL WAYFINDER LTD appears to be a Hong Kong-based maritime corporate entity associated with the management of the tanker ARLAN. Public sanctions-related reporting identifies it as the ship owner for ARLAN in January 2026, while vessel-tracking databases show the ship LYSANDRA as a Panama-flagged chemical/oil products tanker, suggesting possible naming or registry inconsistency that warrants further review.
⚠ Red Flags
- Listed in a sanctions-related shadow-fleet database as ship owner for ARLAN
- Associated vessel reported to have carried Russian crude oil in violation of G7/EU embargo measures
- Reported suspicion of transporting Iranian oil
- Potential identity/registry inconsistency between ARLAN and LYSANDRA in public vessel records
- Very recent ownership attribution in sanctions database (21.01.2026)
BSTLS SHIPPING LLC is a ship management company based in Baku, Azerbaijan, with public maritime databases describing it as an ISM/ship manager that provides technical and commercial management services. Public listings indicate it manages a small fleet, and it is associated in sanctions-related maritime reporting with vessels tied to Russian oil transport activity.
⚠ Red Flags
- Listed as safety management manager for shadow-fleet tankers in sanctions-related reporting
- Associated with vessels alleged to have transported Russian oil during embargo and price-cap periods
- Linked to a vessel (IMO 9262924) referenced as under UK sanctions
- Public records show a very small fleet, which can be a risk marker in shadow-fleet structures
