Beneficial OwnerUnknown. No beneficial owner, parent company, or corporate group structure was found in the retrieved sources.
SanctionsNone found. OpenSanctions indexes the company in connection with Tokyo MoU PSC detention records, including a linked detention entry for ADVANTAGE SPRING, but no sanctions designation or enforcement action against the company itself was identified.

⚠ Red Flags

  • Multiple public sources show inconsistent address information for the company.
  • Fleet data appears in several databases under the GEDEN LINES name, indicating the company uses a trade name or brand alias.
  • The company is associated with at least one Tokyo MoU PSC detention record index entry through OpenSanctions.
  • The company manages a relatively large tanker fleet, which increases sanctions/compliance screening relevance.
