AlfaStrakhovanie

AlfaStrakhovanie is the sanctioned Russian composite insurer Insurance Business reported on 14 August 2026 as the underwriter standing behind the Caroline Bezengi, the Sovcomflot-linked tanker leaking oil onto Omani and Iranian shores since running aground on 21 June. It operates outside the International Group of P&I clubs that mainstream Western insurers have withdrawn Russian-linked shipping from since 2022. That leaves the tanker's spill response without the conventional international liability machinery a P&I-insured vessel would carry.
