Company:notes | "Kuwait-headquartered United Arab Shipping Co (UASC), which is among the world's biggest 20 container lines, said last month it had suspended all services to and from Iran. 'We now find ourselves in the peculiar situation where even if we are carrying non-sanctioned cargo to non-sanctioned entities, the cargo will eventually have to be handled by a party which the U.S. government considers as providing financial support to a sanctioned party,' it said. In a company memo seen by Reuters, UASC added: 'With the passing of the NDAA ... the difficulties in shipping cargo to and from Iran have only increased.'"
