The Tempest Dream loaded clean petroleum product — a category that includes gasoline and diesel — and departed Nayara’s port in Vadinar on Aug. 3, according to Kpler. The ship was sanctioned by the UK in June for its role in the Russian oil trade and was previously named Unite.

The vessel is the second to have loaded product produced by Nayara since the EU sanctions were announced. The Pacific Martina, a long-range tanker, picked up nearly 507,000 barrels, and ship-tracking data shows the vessel has been lingering in the ocean to the east of Muscat, Oman, since July 25.

The Pacific Martina is not known to be sanctioned by any government.
