Blacklisted tanker in STS transfer as fictitious tanker

The USA have blacklisted the 'Ady Sofia' after a ship-to-ship transfer with ‘fake’ vessel linked to the Houthi financial fixer Sa’id al-Jamal. The tanker was expected to deliver its cargo of alleged Iranian oil to China. It had received the cargo on Jan 31, 2024, off Singapore from a tanker that was falsely broadcasting its location and disguised as a fictitious tanker, the 'Amor', according to US Treasury officials. The “fake” tanker, the 'Mehle' (built 1999), had been blacklisted earlier that month because it was said to be linked to the network of the alleged Houthi financial fixer Sa’id al-Jamal.
