Ship tracking company claims an Iranian oil tanker may have broken through U.S. sanctions

BlockBeatNews

BlockBeats News, May 5th, tanker tracking company TankerTrackers reports that satellite images show a Iranian oil tanker may have broken through U.S. sanctions. The super-large crude oil carrier “Huge,” flying the Iranian flag, has not appeared in the digital vessel tracking system for several months, but on Sunday, it sent a signal indicating it was near the waters off Bali.

TankerTrackers co-founder Samir Madani stated that satellite images also show the ship in that area, and just hours before the U.S. implemented the sanctions on April 13th, the ship was still docked at an Iranian port. (Jin10)
