| Description | The VLCC class tanker is involved in the transportation of Iranian oil. Many tankers involved in transporting Iranian oil to countries such as China are also involved in Venezuelan trade, including tanker IMO 9257149. 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 March 13, 2025, USA imposed sanctions on Neptune Marine Ltd (Marshall Islands) and Huaxia Trading Ltd (China), which are the owner and manager of the tanker, respectively, in connection with their activities in the petroleum sector of the Iranian economy. On March 13, 2025, USA imposed sanctions on the tanker as a property in which Neptune Marine Ltd has an interest. | [sources] | |||
