| Description | The tanker is involved in the transportation of Iranian crude oil and petroleum products. Many tankers involved in transporting Iranian oil to countries such as China are also involved in Venezuelan trade, including tanker IMO 9244635. 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. The tanker is affiliated with the India-based Austinship Management Private Limited, which was sanctioned by USA on February 24, 2025 for knowingly engaging in a significant transaction in the purchase, acquisition, sale, transportation or marketing of crude oil/petroleum products or petrochemicals from Iran. On February 23, 2025, near Malaysia, the tanker made STS transfers with the sanctioned tanker IMO 9196644 involved in the transportation of sanctioned Iranian oil, and on February 24, 2025, with the sanctioned tanker IMO 9365764 VLCC-class involved in the transportation of numerous shipments of Iranian oil to Chinese refineries. On February 24, 2025, USA imposed sanctions on a tanker as on the property in which the sanctioned company Austinship Management Private Limited has an interest. | [sources] | |||
