GLOBAL DIGNITY

The vessel is affiliated with a sanctioned person, Brar Jugwinder Singh, through a sanctioned company, Glory International FZ-LLC, of which he is a director and owner. Brar, through its companies, owns, operates or manages a fleet of nearly 30 oil and petroleum product tankers, most of which are Handysize tankers that stick to coastal waters and carry a fraction of the cargo of larger tankers. Brar uses the smaller tankers for STS transfers to load Iranian oil from other shadow fleet vessels or to load oil or fuel that is smuggled from smaller commercial and fishing vessels. Thus, Brar coordinated with the illegal shipping associates of Houthi financial official Said al-Jamal on sanctions evasion tactics, including the use of smaller vessels instead of large oil tankers to conceal the smuggling of Iranian oil in the Persian Gulf and Khor al-Zubair (Iraq) and their environs.
On April 10, 2025, USA imposed sanctions on the vessel as a property in which Glory International FZ-LLC has an interest.
