DescriptionThe vessel is affiliated with the sanctioned individual Brar Jugwinder Singh through the sanctioned company Glory International FZ-LLC, of which he is the director and owner. Brar, through his companies, owns, operates, or manages a fleet of nearly 30 oil and petroleum product tankers, most of which are Handysize-class tankers operating in coastal waters and carrying only a fraction of the cargo capacity of larger tankers. He uses these smaller vessels for ship-to-ship (STS) transfers to load Iranian oil from other shadow fleet vessels or to load oil or fuel smuggled from smaller commercial and fishing vessels. Brar has coordinated with the illicit shipping associates of Houthi financial official Said al-Jamal on sanctions evasion tactics, including the use of smaller vessels instead of large oil tankers to conceal the smuggling of Iranian oil in the Persian Gulf and Khor al-Zubair (Iraq) and surrounding areas. On April 10, 2025, the United States imposed sanctions on the vessel as property in which Glory International FZ-LLC has an interest. According to the IMO’s Global Integrated Shipping Information System (GISIS) data as of July 14, 2025, the vessel’s registered name is CHIL 1, and its flag is listed as "Aruba False."[sources]
