The US has lifted sanctions from a Turkish shipping services company after its owner successfully argued that it had not arranged repairs for a blacklisted Russian bulker linked to stolen Ukrainian grain shipments.
Ilker Dogruyol, founder and owner of ID Shipping, told TradeWinds that the listing on 14 September 2023 was “unjust and legally unfounded” and had resulted in business and reputational damage before it was lifted.
