Dark fleet scrapping speculation spikes after Donald Trump hint at Iran deal

"If Donald Trump is in a deal-making mood, long-awaited dark fleet scrapping could finally come to fruition. The US president on Tuesday signed a memorandum instructing the government to renew the maximum pressure campaign against Iran, promising new sanctions and more strict enforcement of the ones already in place. […] However, in December three VLCCs and a product tanker identified as dark fleet vessels by US pro-sanctions pressure group United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) were sold to a recycling yard in India. The vessels were never on the US blacklist, but UANI maintains a list of alleged dark fleet ships and claims to have influenced sanctions actions in the past."
