AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoIran Oil Pressure on Shipping: The U.S. disabled a sixth Iran-linked tanker near the Strait of Hormuz, striking the engine room of the stateless crude carrier Lexie after it ignored orders for 24 hours, as the U.S. keeps enforcing a blockade despite a ceasefire in effect. Sanctions Hit Iran’s “Dark Fleet”: The U.S. Treasury also imposed fresh sanctions on Iran’s military-linked oil trade, naming eight tankers and firms tied to moving Iranian crude and petroleum products; notably, a Comoros-flagged tanker (Hauncayo) was among those listed. Black Sea Shipping Risks: Russia-linked drone attacks hit three foreign-flagged merchant vessels in Ukraine’s Black Sea export corridor, with fires reported aboard ships flying Vanuatu, Comoros and Panama flags—another reminder of rising costs and insurance pressure for maritime trade. Comoros in the Spotlight: With Comoros-flagged vessels appearing in both the sanctions list and the Black Sea attack reports, Comoros’ shipping registry is again in the global business spotlight.
