Misc. for ports and Vessels

The 'Pacific', which is linked to Leonid Mikhelson — the richest person in Russia after Vladimir Putin — has reappeared after almost two weeks of silence. The superyacht appeared sailing past the Canary Islands on May 20, 2022, after 12 days without broadcasting its position, and more recently has been seen near Malta. Sailing with the AIS shut off violates international maritime law. While the vessel has indicated it will be heading to Port Said as its next destination, analysts predicted the ship will continue from there toward either the Maldives or Turkey—jurisdictions that are kinder to the yachts owned by Russian oligarchs. The yacht last broadcast 12 days earlier that it was headed to the Bahamas. It also previously indicated it might head to Barcelona’s Port Vell. The erratic movements of the vessel show the increasing desperation of oligarchs to keep their ships off the radar of governments trying to seize them. Mikhelson, the CEO of Russian gas company Novatek, has faced sanctions from the U.K. and Canada since Russia's war on Ukraine began. Mikhelson owns a quarter of the shares of Novatek—the largest non-state-owned natural gas provider in Russia, producing around 10% of Russia's gas. Novatek is sanctioned by the U.S.; Mikhelson himself is not.

KAISHIN

Casualty

Nippon Salvage has successfully raised the sunken tour boat 'Kazu I' to the sea surface off the Shiretoko Peninsula in the northern prefecture of Hokkaido off Utoro Port on May 26. In the second attempt, the salvage firm had used an undersea robot to put belts on the boat. From the afternoon, the firm began pulling the vessel up toward the surface. The boat surfaced from the water after 6:50 p.m.and was fixed to the 'Kaishin' with ropes around 7:10 p.m. The salvage firm was going to tow the boat to shallow waters and lift it onto the barge. The boat is expected to be unloaded at nearby Abashiri Port.

YUAN QIU HU

Misc. for ports and Vessels

The tankers 'Yang Li Hu' and 'Yang Mei Hu' -- both LR-2 tankers -- loaded ESPO between May 16 and 18, 2022 before traveling toward Yeosu to transfer oil to the 'Yuan Qiu Hu', which was only three-quarters full when it headed for China. The vessels are owned by China’s Cosco Shipping Holdings Co., while Unipec chartered the tankers. The logistically risky and costly transfer of crude between tankers at sea highlights the steps at least one Chinese buyer is willing to take to ensure the smooth flow of oil from eastern Russia to Asia. Buyers are using creative ways to maintain flows as more shipowners shun Russian oil due to the potential fallout from financial sanctions, according to shipbrokers. Small vessels are being used to shuttle between Russia’s Kozmino port and the waters off Yeosu in South Korea, where cargoes undergo ship-to-ship transfer to supertankers for the next leg of the journey to China. The number of shipowners and insurers willing to handle Russian crude is dwindling, said shipbrokers, created a logistical challenge for producers and buyers working with fewer tankers. This process is unusual for ESPO crude, a type of Russian oil that’s typically loaded onto smaller tankers for a direct, five-day journey to China. While it adds to overall sailing time and costs, the practice is becoming more common as shipowners and buyers prioritize a ready supply of small vessels to ferry oil out of Kozmino in short runs. Willing buyers of Russian crude are set to benefit from steep discounts relative to global benchmark prices as others avoid deals with Moscow due to its war in Ukraine. Cheap oil has made it attractive for top consumers such as China and India to keep importing from the OPEC+ producer, despite facing international condemnation and mounting logistical and financial hurdles. China is set to take almost all of the ESPO loadings in May, a grade that often flows to other countries such as South Korea and Japan due to the close proximity and simple logistics. Cargoes are typically transported directly from loading to receiving ports on aframax and Long Range-2 tankers.

ODIN

Scrapped

Lawyers for Fred Olsen Cruise Lines are going after the buyers of te 'Odin' ex 'Black Watch' to block its imminent beaching in Alang. She is at anchor off Gujarat on the Indian north-western coast, where it arrived on May 5. The UK-based, Norwegian-controlled cruise ship owner wants to know if its next stop is meant to be the beach. "We have taken steps to try to prevent this,” a Fred Olsen Cruise spokesman stated, as such a move would violate a sales contract clause calling for green scrapping of the vessel once its end-of-life job as an accommodation vessel is over. But Fred Olsen Cruise is uncertain about the ship’s final destiny. “Following the sale of Black Watch to Turkish buyers in 2020, our research shows that the vessel is currently offshore India. We have taken steps behind the scenes to enforce the terms of the sale in 2020 to Turkish buyers, which requires the vessel to be recycled at the end of her trading life in accordance with the Hong Kong Convention at a fully certified Turkish ship recycling facility able to perform proper green ship recycling. The steps we have taken include obtaining an interim injunction against the Turkish buyers. While we do not have a full picture of what has happened to the vessel since the sale, we understand that the vessel has since changed hands. Unfortunately, we have not received a full picture from the Turkish buyers.”” The ship changed hands only in April and is now recorded as managed by Mumbai-based BBN Shipmanagement, a cash buyer-linked company, and as owned by a Marshall Islands special purpose vehicle called Olivia Navigation, with contact in care of Navi Mumbai-based Machtrans Ship Management. Fred Olsen Cruise has never identified its counterparty in the sale, but suggested the buyer has not been transparent about the further disposition of the vessel.

Greece will send the oil from the seized 'Lana'r to the United States at the request of the U.S. judiciary, Greek port police said on May 25. The ship was seized while heading to the Marmara terminal and as moored at Karystos anchorage with its crew, said to be Russians in accordance with EU sanctions introduced after Russia invaded Ukraine in February. The tanker was carrying 115,000 tons of Iranian oil. "Following a request from the U.S. justice system, the oil is to be transferred to the United States at the expense of that country," a spokeswoman for the Greek port police said.
