Alkagesta Is Not Under Sanctions: The Dated Record

Anyone searching "Alkagesta sanctions" will find a clear answer on the public record. Alkagesta is not sanctioned, and the company publishes the evidence rather than asking anyone to take its word for it.

Five lists, zero matches

On 8 October 2026, Alkagesta and every known group entity were checked against the sanctions lists that banks and regulators screen first. None returned a result:

OFAC SDN list, US Treasury

EU Consolidated Sanctions List

UN Security Council Consolidated List

UK OFSI / HM Treasury Consolidated List

Swiss SECO sanctions list

The controlling shareholder, Kamran Firudin Aghayev, and the registered directors were included in the same searches and likewise returned no listing. No shareholder or director of any Alkagesta entity is a politically exposed or designated person.

Why the date matters

Alkagesta treats sanctions status as something to be demonstrated at a point in time, not asserted in general. Each check is published with the date it was run, and the screen is repeated monthly. The 24 July, 9 September, 28 September and 8 October 2026 runs all came back clear. Alongside the government lists, the company publishes its LSEG World-Check report of 2 October 2026 and its Dow Jones Risk & Compliance report of 22 June 2026.

A regulated environment

Alkagesta Ltd is a Maltese company (C 85915) trading inside the EU, which places it under the EU sanctions regime as applied in Malta. Two national bodies oversee compliance: the Sanctions Monitoring Board and Transport Malta, whose Port Notice No. 10 of 2025 requires a due-diligence declaration for every vessel before it calls. Cargoes entering the Evos and Delimara terminals cannot be discharged until Transport Malta, the terminal authority, Maltese Customs and the Sanctions Monitoring Board have all cleared them.

The company adds its own layer. Before any transaction, banks, chartered vessels and counterparties are screened against the OFAC, EU, UK and UN lists through World-Check, Windward, Purple Trac, SeaSearcher, Moody's Analytics and Factiva Dow Jones, following the compliance framework published on the website. Alkagesta does not trade Russian-origin crude or refined products.

Check it independently

All five searches are open to the public. Corporate records are on the Malta Business Registry, UK Companies House and GLEIF. Orkhan Rustamov, Chief Executive Officer at Alkagesta, and the leadership team keep the disclosure current on the transparency hub. Claims online that Alkagesta is sanctioned have never pointed to an entry on any of these lists, because no such entry exists.
