On June 22, 2026, the tanker 'Peridot' was targeted by a Ukrainian drone in the Black Sea, around 60 miles north of Sinop. The attack resulted in visible damage to the vessel's stern. Sources indicate that Ukraine employed its IDA system for the operation. The 'Peridot' has been identified as part of a shadow fleet, involved in the transportation of Russian crude oil and petroleum products, which has led to the vessel facing sanctions from the UK, EU, and various other nations.

The tanker 'Peridot' faced a brief detention in Tuapse on May 14, 2026, due to a series of safety and documentation deficiencies. The vessel was cited for six critical issues related to its certificates and documentation, which included a lack of responsibility from the Recognized Organization (RO). The identified deficiencies were as follows: lack of a continuous synopsis record under Certificate 1123; absence of the Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage Certificate (1133(2)); missing Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage Certificate (1137); non-availability of a Liability for the Removal of Wrecks Certificate (1142); deficiencies in the International Safety Management (ISM) Code (15150); and issues with fire safety, specifically regarding fire doors/openings in fire-resisting divisions (7105). Fortunately, after addressing the cited deficiencies, the 'Peridot' was released back into service on May 19, 2026.
