DescriptionThe vessel is involved in the supply of Iranian oil to China. 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. On May 08, 2025, USA imposed sanctions on the vessel. According to GISIS IMO data, as of July 14, 2025, the vessel's flag is unknown.[sources]
