Shippers file claim over alleged Iranian petroleum cargoes seized by US
UAE-based Mobin International told the court it purchased all of the petroleum-product cargoes, chartered the tankers, and was transporting the fuel to Trinidad and Tobago, for onward sale to Peru and Colombia
The US claims that Iran used Mobin, Oman Fuel and Sohar Fuel as fronts to mask the shipping of fuel from Iran to Venezuela, which shares borders with Colombia and Trinidad and Tobago. The companies however said that the fuel was ultimately destined for sale to Peru and Colombia
