Vessel:description | The tanker is involved in the transportation of Iranian crude oil and petroleum products. Many tankers involved in transporting Iranian oil to countries such as China are also involved in Venezuelan trade, including tanker IMO 9262168. On June 11, 2022, Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and former Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi signed a 20-year cooperation agreement to expand ties in the oil and petrochemical industries, as well as in the military and economic spheres. Since then, bilateral ties have begun to develop. Most cargo is transported by ships belonging to the sanctioned National Iranian Tanker Company (NITC) in both directions. A significant number of ships flying under foreign (non-Iranian) flags are also involved in this trade. The tanker is owned by Strong Roots Provider NV, a Suriname-based company that was sanctioned by USA on October 11, 2024, due to the company's involvement in the illicit movement of Iranian oil. On October 11, 2024, USA imposed sanctions on the tanker as the property of the sanctioned company Strong Roots Provider NV. | ua_war_sanctions | ua-ws-vessel-388 | ||||
