US drops four Greek-linked tankers from blacklist

The US has removed sanctions from four Greek-linked tankers blacklisted amid a push to cripple Venezuela's oil trade.

The 300,000-dwt Voyager I (built 2003), 306,500-dwt Seahero (built 2006), 106,361-dwt Euroforce (built 2002) and 105,850-dwt Delos Voyager (built 2003), along with their registered owners, were dropped from the US sanctions regime on Thursday.

Thenamaris, the Seahero's manager, said in a statement that the company "has always placed the highest priority on regulatory compliance" including sanctions.
