"Kuwait-based trader Independent Petroleum Group has sold gasoline produced by Reliance into Iran, even though the Indian refiner has asked traders not to ship its fuel to the Islamic Republic, trade sources said on Thursday. Shipping and trade data obtained by Reuters showed IPG shipped a total 144,830 tonnes, or 1.23 million barrels, of gasoline to Iran in October. IPG loaded a total of four vessels between end-September and October at Reliance's oil terminal at Sikka, the data showed. The four vessels -- Nordic Agnetha, Pro Giant, St George and Torm Carina -- discharged their respective cargoes at Iran's Bandar Abbas oil terminal." (Reuters, "IPG Sells Reliance Fuel to Iran Despite Restrictions," 12/17/2009).
