Russia’s state-owned oil tanker company renamed some of its ships after cities in the country following sanctions by the US.
Sovcomflot PJSC was sanctioned in February as part of measures from the US to mark the second year of the war in Ukraine. Fourteen of its tankers were also added to the Treasury Department’s list of named vessels, bringing the total number of them designated to 21.
