Fleet1 vessel(s)
Beneficial OwnerUnknown. No beneficial owner, parent company, or corporate control structure was identified in the available sources.
SanctionsNone found in international sanctions screening results. However, the vessel NOSTOS has been listed by Ukrainian war-sanctions sources as linked to transportation of Russian crude oil/petroleum products and shadow-fleet activity, with the owner shown as Shannon Trading SA c/o Eurotankers Inc.
