Long-anticipated shadow LPG crackdown has arrived: will it matter?
- Nearly half of Iran-trading gas carriers now designated after major Ofac actions in October and November
- Recent sanctions crackdown will likely necessitate an injection of new tonnage
- 2025 LPG loadings in Iran set to slightly exceed or remain on par with 2024 levels, preliminary data from Vortexa shows
US pressure on Iran’s LPG shadow fleet increased in 2025 — especially in October and November — and will likely spur an injection of new tonnage in the new year. Whether this pressure will dramatically impact exports, however, remains to be seen
