Ownership & Management
NEW FLEET LTD is a Russia-based maritime company identified as the owner, commercial manager, and ISM manager of the tanker PROXIMA (IMO 9329655). It appears to function as a vessel-management entity for a single product tanker, with public maritime databases associating it directly to that ship. [1][2][3][4]
⚠ Red Flags
- Company is tied to a tanker publicly described as moving Russian crude oil/petroleum products in sanction-sensitive trade. [1]
- The same entity is listed as both ship owner and commercial manager of PROXIMA, which concentrates control in one company. [1][3][4]
- Public sources did not provide beneficial ownership details, limiting transparency. [2]
