The Angara recently completed a transit through the Suez on 2026-07-26 at 20:57 UTC. The vessel, an IMO 9179842 Roll-on Roll-off ship, is currently flying the Russian flag.

The vessel is subject to sanctions under the Swiss SECO Ordinance of 4 March 2022 on measures related to the situation in Ukraine (RS 946.231.176.72), specifically annexes 2, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 14a, 15, 15a, 15b, 25, and 33. The vessel was first designated on 2026-04-01.

Recent transit data observed by Strait Up Maritime from open AIS broadcasts shows the vessel also recorded two arrivals at port_INBOM on 2026-07-01 and 2026-07-02.

Compliance signals include several recent changes to the vessel's management and identity. On 2026-06-18, the ISM manager and ship manager both changed from MARINE TRANS SHIPPING LLC to MG-FLOT LLC, following a series of other manager changes involving NAVIGARDEN LLC, KOMROWSKI BEFRACHTUNGSKONTOR, and KAALBYE SHIPPING UKRAINE KSU. Additionally, the vessel's flag changed from Isle of Man to Germany on 2026-06-18.
