Ownership & Management
RAGANG SHIPPING INC is a Mauritius-registered maritime company identified as the registered owner and commercial ship manager of the tanker TENDUA (IMO 9299862). Publicly available sanctions-related maritime databases associate it with the Russian shadow fleet context through TENDUA, but no direct enforcement action against the company itself was found in the provided sources.
⚠ Red Flags
- Associated with a vessel identified as part of the shadow fleet
- Registered owner and commercial manager roles both held by the same company for TENDUA
- Low transparency on beneficial ownership in available sources
Charai Sea Shipping Pvt Ltd is an India-registered ship management company based in Mumbai, incorporated in September 2024 and described by its own website as a technical ship manager with a fleet of 40+ vessels. OpenSanctions identifies it as a company entity with IMO company number 0112793, and multiple maritime databases show it as manager for vessels including tanker TENDUA and several others.
⚠ Red Flags
- OpenSanctions lists the company as an entity of interest and associates it with persons of interest tied to shadow-fleet contexts.
- A June 2026 report described the company as a potential successor to Gatik Ship Management after Gatik's dismantling.
- Ukrainian sanctions/transport-shadow-fleet documentation states Charai Sea Shipping is the commercial and technical manager of tanker SARD (IMO 9318034), described there as part of the shadow fleet.
- The company was incorporated in late September 2024, shortly before appearing in multiple vessel-management databases.
- The company website claims a fleet of 40+ vessels, while third-party databases reviewed here show only a limited subset explicitly.
- TrustedDocks and other databases indicate management of vessels associated with tanker/shadow-fleet risk profiles.
