Description	The tanker is affiliated with the sanctioned shipping company Ravi Lines Inc (Marshall Islands), which was sanctioned by the United States on July 30, 2025, for providing material assistance, sponsorship, or financial, material, or technological support, as well as goods or services, to or in support of Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani. Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani leverages his father’s political influence to corrupt senior Iranian regime officials in order to build and operate a vast fleet of tankers and container ships. This fleet transports oil and petroleum products from Iran and russia, as well as other cargoes, to customers worldwide, generating tens of billions of dollars in profits. His shipping network comprises a large fleet of vessels, ship management firms, and front companies that launder billions of dollars in proceeds from global sales of Iranian and russian crude oil and petroleum products, primarily to buyers in China. The network takes extensive measures to conceal its operations and obscure its ties to the Shamkhani family, Iran, and russia. On July 30, 2025, the United States imposed sanctions on the vessel.
