| Description | The vessel is involved in the transportation and supply of Iranian crude oil, in particular to the DPRK. Since the beginning of 2025, tanker IMO 9263215 has made at least two oil shipments using sanctioned vessels of the sanctioned National Iranian Tanker Company (NITC) to assist in delivering up to six million barrels of oil to China. Iran's shadow fleet relies on little-known ship management companies to operate its fleet of tankers, which Tehran needs to disguise Iranian oil shipments to China using ship-to-ship (STS) transportation with sanctioned vessels. Many tankers involved in transporting Iranian oil to countries such as China are also involved in Venezuelan trade, including tanker IMO 9263215. On June 11, 2022, Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and former Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi signed a 20-year cooperation agreement to expand ties in the oil and petrochemical industries, as well as in the military and economic spheres. Since then, bilateral ties have begun to develop. Most cargo is transported by ships belonging to the sanctioned National Iranian Tanker Company (NITC) in both directions. A significant number of ships flying under foreign (non-Iranian) flags are also involved in this trade. On May 08, 2025, USA imposed sanctions on the vessel. | [sources] | |||
