SeaLead winds up operations after US sanctions over Iran links
- SeaLead entered voluntary liquidation, weeks after the US added the carrier to its sanctions list for links to an Iranian adviser’s son
- The company’s fleet has collapsed from over 200,000 teu to under 10,000 teu since Ofac sanctioned 16 of its chartered vessels a year ago
- Of the 16 sanctioned ships, at least eight remain operational, with two having switched to the Iranian flag, according to Lloyd’s List Intelligence data
SeaLead has entered liquidation a year after US sanctions over Iran links stripped the Singapore carrier of most of its fleet
