All Ships Carrying Illegal Iranian Oil are Out of the Liberian Registry
Maritime Chronicles
The organization United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) recently welcomed Liberia's decision to deregister all ships allegedly smuggling Iranian oil, as well as its commitment to deregister any ship involved in this illicit trade. UANI is a non-profit and non-partisan organization created to combat the threats posed by the Islamic Republic of Iran, the official website notes. It is recalled that, in November 2020, UANI launched its campaign to end open registries for Iran’s “ghost” fleet, consisting of foreign-owned and operated tankers that transport blacklisted oil. As the organization states in the relevant statement, “since then, the Liberian registry has stood out as a beacon of responsiveness, accountability and good governance in the rapid deflagration of Iranian vessels smuggling oil.”
