In a statement released Friday, the Treasury Department said it was pursuing the so-called “ghost fleet” of Iranian vessels involved in selling Iranian oil to circumvent existing sanctions, naming 10 companies and 17 vessels as “blocked cargo ” because of his involvement. in “shipments of Iranian oil and petrochemical products”.
The State Department announced that it has sanctioned six additional companies and six vessels for “knowingly engaging in a significant transaction for the purchase, purchase, sale, transportation or trade of oil or petroleum products from Iran.”
