Sky Venus
Sierra Leone.
Summary
Tanker mothership involved in multiple ship-to-ship transfers of refined petroleum in 2021 (and possibly before). Transferred refined petroleum loads to the vessels "Hui Hang 97" (IMO unknown), "Jian Xing 78" (IMO unknown) and "Quan Yi You 02" (IMO unknown) in May 2021 according to Cheng Chiun Shipping Agency. The UN Panel of Experts identified inconsistencies in those claims and doubts that said transfers have happened.
Paragraph 64 (p. 47) of the UN Panel of Experts March 2022 report and multiple other report sources describe Cheng Chiun Shipping as the operator of the vessels "Sky Venus" (IMO: 9168257) and "Sunward" (IMO: 8920115). However, Paragraph 66 (ibid.) describes how Cheng Chiun Shipping exerts such roles through its front companies Ocean Energy International and Wills International. A search for the vessel IMOs on Equasis has shown that the relationship is registered between the vessels and the front companies, not Cheng Chiun Shipping itself.
