Report: Tanker Turns Away from Indian Refinery as Sanctions Create Pressure

The Maritime Executive

The Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Yermak, announced yesterday, however, that the Bahamas is also following the lead of the European Union and imposing restrictions on its ship registry. . . . United Against a Nuclear Iran (UANI) listed the Bahamas at the bottom of its ranking of flags for Iranian shadow fleet tankers, and the Bahamas has rarely, if ever, been mentioned for the Russian shadow fleet. Still, it is seen as another step in the efforts to increase pressure on sanction evasion efforts.
