DescriptionThe tanker is affiliated with Celia Armas Ltd, a Hong Kong-based company, which was sanctioned by USA on October 11, 2024 pursuant to EO 13846 for engaging in a significant number of transactions involving the purchase, acquisition, sale, transportation or marketing of crude oil or petroleum products from Iran. According to the American human rights group United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI), which monitors Iran-related tanker traffic using satellite data, the vessel was involved in the transportation of Iranian oil and switched to transporting russian oil. Since the beginning of russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, more than 90 vessels that previously helped Tehran export Iranian export oil are now helping russia transport russian oil/oil products. In May 2022, UANI first predicted that russia would turn to a 'ghost armada' to ensure oil flows to its Chinese partner. On October 11, 2024, the USA imposed sanctions on the tanker as a property in which Celia Armas Ltd has an interest.[sources]
