From archived version of the Bloomberg article:

The 23-year-old Adalynn sails under the Antigua and Barbuda flag and its insurer data are not on industry databases.

The vessel has been frequently sighted plowing the route between Russia’s Ust-Luga, in the Baltic Sea, and Vadinar on India’s west coast. Front Eagle is a 2020-built tanker sailing under the Liberian flag.

Emails sent to Oceanpack Ship Management, the listed owner of Adalynn went unanswered.

~~The article doesn't say that the Adalynn is a sanctioned ship~~

opensanctions.org does say the Adalynn is sanctioned by Ukraine for "involved in the transportation of weapons, stolen Ukrainian products and in the circumvention of sanctions" an "entity of interest", ~~not on any sanctions lists, but~~ citing Greenpeace labels the vessel as part of Russia's shadow fleet.

I think this is the source of confusion:

Adalynn was, under a previous name, under US sanctions from March 2022 to September 2023, accused of being used for illicit shipments in support of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
