Overview
MT Timofey Guzhenko (Russian: Тимофей Гуженко) is a Russian double acting shuttle tanker operated by Sovcomflot. An icebreaking oil tanker capable of operating independently in 1.5-metre (5 ft) level ice, she carries oil from Varandey Oil Terminal, an ice-strengthened loading tower located 12 nautical miles (22 km) from the shore. The ship is named after Timofey Guzhenko (1918–2008), the USSR Minister of Merchant Marine in 1970–1986 and one of the founders of the Sovcomflot Group. He was also the leader of the first expedition to reach the North Pole on board a surface ship, the nuclear-powered icebreaker Arktika, on 17 August 1977.
Intelligence
Composite Risk
Strong, corroborated adverse evidence: a detention, sanctions exposure or an AIS-gap / behavioural signal.
A coverage-weighted blend of the 3 components we could read for this hull; the weights renormalise over only the components present, so a thin read is never inflated and a hull is never credited a “safe 0” for a signal it has no row for. Higher means riskier. Derived in-house from government-open port-State-control, flag, sanctions and our own vessel data; weight it by the coverage above.
This vessel is directly sanctioned.
Screened against official OFAC, EU, UN and UK designations (In-house derivation over the OpenSanctions publishable subset, GLEIF LEI (CC0) and our own vessel/owner master. No new external source fetched.). An automated exposure signal for review, not a legal determination.
Transparency
Behavioural flags raised against this vessel, each shown with the raw evidence behind it. Derived in-house from data we are entitled to publish; informational, not a determination of wrongdoing.
Stopped transmitting relative to the live feed front
Method: vessel is on a sanctions list but has never appeared on our live AIS feed. Source: ais_positions (absence) + sanctioned_vessels.
Ageing vessel under a sanctioned or sanctions-exposed owner
Method: vessel age >= threshold AND owner is a sanctioned entity and/or operates sanctioned tonnage. Source: vessels (year_built/owner) + sanctioned_orgs + sanctioned_vessels.
Signals are a current-state view: a flag clears once the vessel stops tripping its detector. These are screening indicators, not a substitute for your own due diligence.
Commercial
Price it in the Route Planner between any two commercial ports: ballast and laden legs, two fuels at live bunker prices, port and canal costs, the weather on the way, and the TCE set against the market.
