Description | The tanker was involved in the export of russian oil and petroleum products during the G7 and EU oil embargo and the price cap policy on russian oil and petroleum products. The vessel was also engaged in the transportation of iranian oil and petroleum products. The tanker is affiliated with the sanctioned shipping company Meuse Shipping Inc (Marshall Islands), which was sanctioned by the United States on July 30, 2025, for providing material assistance, sponsoring, or offering financial, material, or technological support, as well as goods or services to or in support of Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani. Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani, the son of Ali Shamkhani, the chief political advisor to iran’s supreme leader, leverages his father’s political influence to corrupt senior iranian regime officials to build and operate a vast fleet of tankers and container ships. This fleet transports oil and petroleum products from iran and russia, as well as other cargoes, to customers around the world, generating tens of billions of dollars in profit. Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani’s shipping network consists of a vast fleet of vessels, ship management companies, and front entities that launder billions of dollars in proceeds from global sales of iranian and russian crude oil and petroleum products, mostly to buyers in the People’s Republic of China. The network takes extensive measures to conceal its operations and obscure its ties to the Shamkhani family, iran, and russia. On July 30, 2025, the United States imposed sanctions on the vessel. | [sources] | |||
