The party below shares a name or other identifying details with the entity on this page, but our research indicates it is a different party and is NOT the party named in the listing above. It is shown here to help investigators avoid false matches.

- Vafa-1Separately listed entityRU
A Russia-flagged general cargo vessel (IMO 8422682, built 1984) separately designated on Global Affairs Canada's SEMA list and the US OFAC SDN list, sharing the same owner/operator link (Vafa Wholesale Ltd) as Vafa.
Why the mix-up: Near-identical name (differs only by a trailing '-1'), same owner, same build year and vessel type as Vafa -- a classic sister-hull naming collision.
How to tell them apart:- Different IMO: 8422682 vs Vafa's 8422670
- Separate OFAC SDN uid (50591 vs Vafa's 50590)
