A Russian oil tanker, SCF Primorye, sanctioned by the US, made a covert cargo switch to another vessel to avoid American restrictions on its fleet. The tanker collected Urals crude from Russia and transferred the cargo to the Ocean Hermana near Singapore. This secretive move aims to distance the buyer from dealing with a sanctioned ship, despite risks of Treasury actions. The incident highlights the complexities of Russian oil trade amidst US sanctions and the challenges in executing such clandestine operations.
