Washington Names 55 Targets in a Push to Finish Off Iran's Shadow Fleet
On 8 October 2026 the United States designated 55 parties in an action aimed at what remains of Iran's shadow fleet. The Treasury named 17 shipping companies under E.O. 13902 and identified their 17 tankers, which it says carried Iranian crude, fuel oil, naphtha, LPG, methanol and bitumen to Asian buyers. The State Department added 21 parties under E.O. 13846: petrochemical traders in Türkiye, India, the UAE and Iran, a Mumbai customs broker and its three directors, a London-registered ship owner and two UAE ship managers with five tankers. OFAC removed two container ships sold out of the fleet and issued General License EE to wind down dealings with the broker by 23 October. The same day the EU moved Russian businesswoman Olga Belyavtseva from its hybrid-threats regime to its Ukraine regime and replaced eight hybrid-threat entries on review, and the UK corrected four Russia-regime entries and one Libya-regime entry.

Lead Story
The Tankers Are the Target, but the Traders Sit in India and Türkiye
Under what it calls Operation Economic Outcast, the Treasury designated 17 shipping companies under E.O. 13902 and identified the 17 tankers they own, which it says carried Iranian crude, fuel oil, naphtha, LPG, methanol and bitumen to buyers in South and East Asia. Ten of the owners are registered at the same Majuro address in the Marshall Islands; the others sit in Hong Kong, Qingdao, Shenzhen, Coventry and the British Virgin Islands. The tankers fly 13 different flags. OFAC also removed HAKUNA MATATA and PINOCCHIO, two container ships listed in July 2025, after their sale to non-sanctioned operators.
The State Department added 21 parties under E.O. 13846. Six petrochemical traders are named: Noorzad Petrokimya, BGZ Dis Ticaret and Tuter Plastik in Türkiye, SSPL Solutions in Mumbai, Arabianpro Materials in Dubai and their Tehran supplier Padideh Plastic Poshtiban, with reported Iranian-origin trade of $2 million to $20 million each. Their executives Said Ahmad Noorzad and Dhwani and Nisarg Vora are blocked with them. In the shipping strand, the Mumbai customs broker Samudra Marine Services and its three directors are designated, along with the London-registered owner of YONG TAI and two UAE ship managers; their five tankers loaded Iranian cargoes. OFAC issued General License EE so that dealings with Samudra can be wound down by 23 October.

What this means for your organisation
- 01
Block and screen the 55 new US parties: Load every name, non-Latin spelling and alias (BHUTA, Dhwani Dhiren; YONG SING SHIPPING COMPANY LIMITED; TUTER PLASTIC INDUSTRY AND TRADE LTD. CO) with passport, CIN, tax and registration numbers.
- 02
Add the 22 tanker IMO numbers and the company IMO numbers to vessel and trade-finance screening: Match on IMO rather than name; SHENZHEN, POLAR, ZIXUAN and KANHA are common names that will otherwise generate noise.
- 03
Review Indian, Turkish and UAE petrochemical exposure and wind down Samudra by 23 October: Check customers and counterparties against SSPL, Samudra, Noorzad, BGZ, Tuter and Arabianpro; unwind any Samudra dealings under GL EE into a blocked account.
- 04
Update the EU and UK records and release the two vessels: Move Belyavtseva to the Ukraine regime and drop her old aliases only if your policy allows; refresh the eight hybrid entries and five UK corrections; clear US-only hits on HAKUNA MATATA and PINOCCHIO.
