"Sweden’s Stockholm Chartering AB controls a ship that appears to exclusively run routes across Iran’s southern border in the Persian Gulf. Such deliveries would constitute a violation of U.S. and European sanction on Iran, according to the data provided by United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI), a watchdog group that pressures American and European companies to cut economic ties with Tehran. The ship, named Persia, was spotted over the past two months docking near several Iranian ports that are known as hubs for petrochemical exports and its military, according to UANI. The watchdog has petitioned the company to halt its deliveries and has alerted the European Union to its potentially illegal dealings. The 'Stoc Holding-controlled vessel ‘Persia’ appears to operate a dedicated route in support of Iran’s petrochemical exports and advertises ties to sanctioned Iranian entities on its website,' UANI CEO and former United Nations Ambassador Mark Wallace wrote to the company on Wednesday. 'Stoc Holding’s business activities undermine U.S., E.U., and U.N. sanctions as well as the efforts of responsible non-governmental actors to isolate the Iranian regime and counter Iran’s smuggling and proliferation activities,' Wallace wrote. The ‘Persia’ appears to be one of the most active non-Iranian vessels frequenting Iran’s petrochemical facilitates at Bandar Imam Khomenei, Lavan Island and the port of Chah Bahar, Iran. The ‘Persia’, also appears to operate a regular and dedicated route between these Iranian facilities.' The Persia’s activities are particularly concerning to experts because it was seen traveling from Iran’s primary refineries to multiple locations that are near Iranian navy bases . . . 'There’s enough circumstantial evidence to warrant us asking the questions' about possible deliveries to these military bases, said House, who helms UANI’s Maritime Intelligence Network and Rogue Vessel Analysis (MINERVA) system . . . Stoc Holding’s Persia ship is also insured by Iran’s in-house insurance company, raising further red flags among UANI’s analysts. Iran’s Kish P&I is an illicit maritime insurance operation that allows mostly Iranian ships to continue global shipping operations and skirt economic sanctions. The Persia is 'one of the few' non-Iranian ships to be covered by Kish P&I, according to UANI’s Martin . . . 'Simply put, Stoc Holding appears to be profiting from its involvement in the Iranian regime’s schemes to prop up its sanctioned petrochemical and shipping sectors. Such involvement is also exposing Stoc Holding to the risk that its services are providing support for Iran’s military forces.' Stockholm Chartering does not appear to be hiding its relationship with Iran. The company features photographs of Iranian tankers on the homepage of its website. Stockholm Chartering did not deny the charges against it when contacted Thursday by the Free Beacon."

"When GVA Consultants won the contract to design the Iran-Alborz platform in 2001, the company acquired a 5% stake in the project, according to reports. GVA, formerly part of the UK’s BMT Group, was subsequently acquired by Halliburton, the American defense contractor. While Halliburton announced in April of 2007 that it had ceased all of its Iranian operations, it divested Houston-based KBR Inc., which is now GVA’s parent company, that same year. Gity, the Khazar official, described the current relationship with GVA as being a 'joint venture.' However this claim, made by an Iranian official eager to present his company and country in a favorable light, has not been verified. Senior representatives were unavailable when a call was made by this news service to GVA’s Goteburg, Sweden headquarters seeking comment on whether the company still holds a stake in the Iran-Alborz platform, or any other oil exploration activities in the Caspian Sea."

"Volvo Group has left the Iranian market. A company spokesman confirmed the authenticity of a letter sent to a U.S. pressure group this week saying it stopped sales of any new equipment in Iran in March 2012, and made a decision in January to stop business with all companies in the country. The question of pulling out of Iran has been an issue under discussion for several years, said Kina Wileke, the company's head of media relations, in an interview. Concerns about the Iranian regime led Volvo to pull out, she added. United Against Nuclear Iran, the U.S. pressure group, sent a letter to Volvo in December calling for the Swedish company to leave the market, accusing it, among other things, of supplying the trucks used by the Iranian government to transport missiles. 'We applaud Volvo AB for this decision,' said Nathan Carleton, a spokesman for the group, in an email. 'Iran's automotive sector serves as a massive source of revenue for the regime, and is integral to Iranian military operations...The situation is now changing, as seven prominent automakers have pulled out of Iran within the past year.'"

"Iran is already one of truck and bus manufacturer Scania's biggest markets. Now the company's CEO also wants to export Swedish working values to the Islamic Republic... Scania... was one of the companies that chose to remain in the country during the period of economic sanctions, which led it having a large part of the Iranian market for trucks and buses. The company's competitors today are mainly Chinese manufacturers... Scania's CEO Henrik Henriksson... visited Iran seven times last year - more than any other country. But doing business with Iran remains subject to risk, says the CEO. The remaining US sanctions, those which are not subject to the nuclear agreement, affect financing options. Most banks do not want to risk US fines and are biding their time, reports TT. "It is no secret that it is difficult to do business.
