DescriptionThe vessel is affiliated with Reel Shipping LLC, a company based in the UAE that is subject to sanctions. Reel Shipping LLC operates a fleet of several container ships that are part of a vast shipping empire controlled by Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani. Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani is the son of Ali Shamkhani, the chief political advisor to Iran's supreme leader. Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani uses his father's political influence to corrupt high-level officials in the iranian regime in order to build and operate a huge fleet of tankers and container ships. This fleet transports oil and petroleum products from Iran and russia, as well as other cargoes, to buyers around the world, generating tens of billions of dollars in profits. Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani's shipping empire consists of a vast fleet of vessels, ship management companies, and front companies that launder billions of dollars in profits from the global sale of iranian and russian crude oil and petroleum products, mostly to buyers in the People’s Republic of China. The shipping empire takes significant 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 IMO 9236652.[sources]
