Four more vessels added to Iran’s Hormuz blacklist
- Blacklist grows from 77 to 81 vessels, with authorities increasingly targeting ships linked to Middle East Gulf crude shuttle operations and dark transits
- Lloyd’s List Intelligence tracking shows several newly listed vessels have continued operating through Hormuz with AIS transmissions switched off
- Only one blacklisted vessel, product tanker El Gaia, is known to have been attacked after designation
Adnoc-controlled LPG carrier Al Shumoukh, Sinokor-owned VLCC Algeria Prosperity and two other vessels are the latest additions to Tehran’s list of so-called non-compliant ships
