An international oil tanker, suspected of carrying Russian crude, docked at Kwinana port overnight after sitting off the coast for two days.
The Seferis departed India earlier this month. The Greek-flagged vessel contains oil from Jamnagar refinery in India, which processes Russian crude.
Ukrainian campaigners claim the ship is carrying oil that originated in Russia, which is against Australian sanctions imposed on the country in response to its invasion of Ukraine.
These include restrictions on importing, purchasing and transporting oil that originated in Russia.
A spokesperson for Foreign Minister Penny Wong said, regrettably, the mechanisms Australia would need to track and monitor all energy products via third countries are not in place in those countries.
“We are evaluating options to place further pressure on Russia’s oil revenues,” they said.
The oil is destined for petrol bowsers across the state.
