| Description | The tanker was involved in the export of russian oil and petroleum products to third countries, including from russian ports in the Baltic Sea, during the G7 and EU oil embargo and the price cap policy on russian oil and petroleum products. The vessel is affiliated with Algae Ship Charter FZCO (UAE), one of the many shipping companies that form part of the vast maritime empire controlled by Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani, son of Ali Shamkhani, the chief political advisor to Iran’s supreme leader. Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani leverages his father’s political influence to corrupt senior Iranian regime officials in order to build and operate an extensive 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 consists of a large fleet of vessels, ship management firms, and front companies that launder billions of dollars in proceeds from the global sale of Iranian and russian crude oil and petroleum products, primarily to buyers in the People’s Republic of China. The network takes extensive measures to conceal its operations and obscure its links to the Shamkhani family, Iran, and russia. Algae Ship Charter FZCO, together with other companies connected to Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani – including The Zulu Ships Management and Operation – Sole Proprietorship LLC (UAE) and Wanta Shipping LLC-FZ (UAE) – performs operational functions for the fleet within the Shamkhani shipping network. On July 30, 2025, the United States imposed sanctions on the tanker IMO 9382073. | [sources] | |||
