Ship from Iran passes US blockade, journey attracts attention in the Arabian Sea

Thanh Hà |

A small oil tanker believed to be transporting liquefied gas from Iran is testing the US blockade on its journey in the Arabian Sea.

The G Summer ship carrying liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) sent a signal from the Arabian Sea on April 21.

Data from Kpler analysis company shows that Iran is the actual starting country of the most recent shipment of the G Summer oil tanker.

The US began to impose a comprehensive blockade on Iran's shipping operations on April 13, including all ports of this country, as well as the Gulf of Oman and part of the Arabian Sea.

Although Iranian-linked ships entered the Persian Gulf during that time, no ships went as far into the Arabian Sea as the G Summer ship.

The G Summer ship is under US sanctions. This ship is currently signaling to Galle, Sri Lanka, a destination often mentioned by ships going further to East Asia.

On April 19, the US Navy seized the first Iranian cargo ship since the blockade began. The country's forces have also requested at least 27 ships to turn around or return to Iranian ports since the blockade began.

The transport capacity of the G Summer ship is about 7,000m3, while a regular liquefied petroleum gas shipment is about 80,000m3.

The ship's itinerary shows that G Summer turned very quickly when reaching the southern waters of Iraq - a place where transit between Iranian ships sometimes takes place.

Industry databases do not provide the phone number or email address of the G Summer ship management company.

Bloomberg also noted that the main digital tracking system of the ship may be interfered with.
