Tanker sold for recycling as clear-out of veteran dark fleet tonnage continues

Originally built for Sovcomflot as Kara Sea, the Raissa has been on the list of suspected dark fleet tankers maintained by US pressure group United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) since November 2020, when it was trading under the same Eastern One for a Hong Kong-registered ship manager based in China. . . . Some have been officially sanctioned, although most have merely been listed as bearing sanctions-busting cargoes by UANI, a destination that carries no international legal clout but can nonetheless make life difficult for the owners.
