We hereby visually confirm that the US-blacklisted, Barbados-flagged Aframax tanker AQUATICA (9299769) has reached the anchorage of Baniyas, #Syria as per local reporting. She brought 722K #barrels of Russian light sweet #crude. #Satellite imagery by Planet. #oott #vessels #crudeoil #oil #russia #US

Over the past three weeks, Russia has exported 2.7 million #barrels of light sweet #crude #oil to Syria's Baniyas refinery, replacing Iranian supplies. This move suggests #Russia is committed to maintaining its military presence in #Syria on a permanent basis. #oott #exports #crudeoil #maritime

BREAKING: For the very first time, #Russia has just dispatched 1 million #barrels of #crude #oil to #Syria. Despite Syria’s 6-month #sanctions waiver for oil #imports by the outgoing Biden administration, the #OFAC-blacklisted SABINA (9524451) has been tasked to deliver. Russia is using #fuel as rent money for its maintained armed presence in port Tartus, Syria. #oott

Folks, we track #oil smugglers daily, and if there’s one thing that’s going to come out of elevated tariffs, it’s the smuggling of everyday goods. The higher the percentages, the more lucrative it will become for organized criminals. In Australia, a pack of cigarettes costs USD $26 in order to discourage the population. The black market rate is half that and is still extremely profitable. And once there are too many criminal networks in place, you end up with dangerous gang wars that take a huge toll on society. Policies will always have consequences. #oott

Our research shows that today's decision by US Treasury's #OFAC to #sanction/blacklist ten tankers affects #vessels that have been responsible for lifting at least $5.4 billion worth of #Iranian, #Venezuelan and #Russian #oil. #OOTT https://lnkd.in/ekXJqepn

UPDATE: Within just 15 minutes after our initial post here, JADEAR had faked her departure from the ship-to-ship session with DUNE. The #vessel is falsely appearing on AIS to be heading up the Strait of Malacca but we have obvious indications that the vessels are still engaged. #oott #iran #oil #sanctions #sts

Reuters Exclusive: US mulls plan to disrupt Iran's #oil by halting #vessels at sea Our observation: Fifty-four percent of the vessels that handle #Iranian #crude oil and refined #products are still not blacklisted by #US #OFAC. Maybe address that first? #oott #iran https://lnkd.in/eYtT2rst
