DescriptionThe tanker has been involved in the transportation of sanctioned Iranian oil, in particular to China, since at least 2020. Iran relies on an extensive network of tankers and ship management companies in many jurisdictions to transport its oil to consumers, using deceptive tactics (falsification of documentation, manipulation of ship tracking systems, constant changes of ship names and flags). The tanker is affiliated with Yurimaguas Ltd, a company registered in the Marshall Islands, which was sanctioned by USA on December 03, 2024 for its activities in the oil sector of the Iranian economy. On December 03, 2024, USA imposed sanctions on the tanker.[sources]
