- VafaSeparately listed entityRU
A distinct Russia-flagged general cargo vessel (IMO 8422670, built 1984), separately designated by Canada (SEMA, item 715) and the US (OFAC SDN).
Why the mix-up: Shares the same base vessel name and apparent fleet/operator lineage as 'Vafa-1', differing only by the '-1' suffix; both were designated by Canada in the same June 2026 SEMA round at adjacent list items (715 and 716) and separately by the US OFAC SDN List, so a name screen is likely to surface both.
How to tell them apart:- Different IMO: 8422670 (Vafa) vs 8422682 (Vafa-1)
- Distinct entity already carried in our own corpus under its own canonical id
