Hafnia cannot locate owner, manager or insurer of Iran-linked tanker Ceres I
The Singapore and Malaysia authorities are still investigating what caused the collision between the product tanker Hafnia Nile and Iran-linked very large crude carrier Ceres I in international waters off eastern Malaysia
Hafnia’s inability to ‘directly communicate’ with those behind the vessel Ceres I underscores the risks for vessels transiting through South China Sea. At present, as many as 40 elderly, anonymously owned and poorly regulated tankers are storing sanctioned oil in that area and appear to be manipulating vessel-tracking signals
