The vessel is part of a vast shipping empire controlled by Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani, the 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 a massive 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 profit. His shipping network comprises 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. The Zulu Ships Management and Operation – Sole Proprietorship LLC (UAE), with which the tanker IMO 9439541 is affiliated, is among several companies that have played a significant role in managing and operating the Shamkhani network’s tanker fleet. On July 30, 2025, the United States imposed sanctions on the vessel. Since October 24, 2025, the EU has imposed sanctions on the vessel. ua_war_sanctions ua-ws-vessel-11712025-11-05 Vessel: flaglr eng black_sea_mou_detention
