An VLCC operated by state-backed National Iranian Tanker Co (NITC) is transporting crude from Venezuela to its home country as the two sanctioned countries continue to strengthen their oil trade links.
The 317,000-dwt Horse (built 2008) is due to arrive in Kharg Island on 8 November, along with 1.9m barrels of Venezuela’s Merey crude aboard, Kpler data shows.
Vessel-tracking data from VesselsValue shows the vessel – currently in the South Atlantic Ocean – is signalling the same destination.
