Three older tankers that have long been accused of being used to transport sanctioned crude oil cargoes have been reportedly sold for recycling over the past week.
The vessels have never been officially sanctioned by the US Treasury or the EU, but the 300,000-dwt Itaugua (built 1997) and 105,000-dwt Enzo (built 1999) crude carriers and the 47,000-dwt product tanker Rialto (built 1998) all appear on pressure group United Against a Nuclear Iran (UANI)’s list of ships accused of carrying sanctioned Iranian cargoes.
