The Blue Rose switched off its transponder before berthing at Yalova, Turkey

—

The Blue Rose tanker, which loaded oil from Russia in the Black Sea after bunkering and unloading oil in Malta for Alkagesta, had its transponder switched off before calling at the Port of Yalova in Turkey, concealing parts of its voyage to Malta and its actual oil supplier.

It would be interesting to fetch the oil bunkering document of the Blue Sea, which it bunkered in Malta on the 26-28th August, before leaving for Russia. Alkagesta has been accused, on multiple instances of fraudulently registering its oil from Turkish or Kazakh provinces. Alkagesta are also being investigated by the EU and the UK authorities.

Alkagesta says that it is fully complaint. The company is also suspected of being Socar’s trading arm.
