According to data, Singapore-based shipping services firm iShips Management – Manages Panamanian-flagged tanker Grace 1;

Documents forwarded to Reuters by ship owners say a 300,000-metric-ton-supertanker, the Grace 1, took on fuel oil at Basra, Iraq, between December 10 and 12, 2018. But Basra port loading schedules reviewed by Reuters do not list the Grace 1 as being in port during those dates. One Iraqi industry source with knowledge of the port’s operations confirmed there were no records of the Grace 1 at Basra during this period. Reuters examined data from four ship-tracking information providers — Refinitiv, Kpler, IHS Markit and Vessel Finder — to locate the Grace 1 during that time. All four showed that the Grace 1 had its Automatic Identification System, or transponder, switched off between November 30 and December 14, meaning its location could not be tracked. The Grace 1 then reappeared in waters near Iran’s port of Bandar Assaluyeh, fully loaded, data showed. The cargo was transferred onto two smaller ships in UAE waters in January, from where one ship delivered fuel oil to Singapore in February;

The ship-tracking data analyzed by Reuters showed the Grace 1 emerged from the period when it did not transmit its location almost 500 kilometers south of Iraq. It was close to the Iranian coast with its draft — how deep a vessel sits in water — near maximum, indicating its cargo tanks were filled. The Grace 1 transferred its cargo to two smaller tankers between January 16 and 22 in waters offshore Fujairah in the UAE, data showed; (Reuters

"HYFLUX on Tuesday announced that its subsidiary has been released and discharged from all rights, duties, obligations, claims and demands under a contract for a desalination package in Iran. Under the contract, the subsidiary, Hyflux International Pte Ltd (HIPL), was to design, manufacture and supply a seawater reverse osmosis desalination package in Bandar Abbas, Iran. Iranian firm Asia Water Development Engineering Company (AWDEC) had awarded the project to HIPL in April 2018. However, it was suspended in October 2018, after the US reintroduced sanctions on Iran and pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal, also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action." (The Business Times, 11/27/2019).

"Hyflux has received a letter of intent (LoI) for the award of a second contract from Asia Water Development Engineering Company (AWDEC) for a seawater reverse osmosis desalination package at Bandar Abbas, Iran. The announcement follows the $110.7 million contract awarded by AWDEC in April this year for a similar project at the same location, which Hyflux says AWDEC is pleased with thus far based on the project’s first phase of progress."
