Maritime logistics is critically important for building up the aggressor`s military capabilities, moving troops, obtaining weapons and sanctioned goods, and trading stolen goods. Aggressors transport weapons through international straits on civilian merchant vessels. Exporting fossil fuels to circumvent sanctions is the main source of income for russia and Iran. The shadow tanker fleet and ships without ice class in the Arctic threaten an environmental disaster. Through the sale of agricultural products from the temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories, russia finances the war and maintains the loyalty of its allies, Iran and the DPRK.
Together we can stop this to restore peace and security
Actions to be taken

The vessel is affiliated with Marvise SMC DMCC, a designated entity based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Marvise SMC DMCC, also known as Mairin Ship Management and Consultancy DMCC, provides vessel-management services to numerous shipping companies that form part of a large shipping network controlled by Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani.
Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani, the son of Ali Shamkhani, the chief political adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader, has leveraged his father’s political influence to corrupt senior officials of the iranian regime and to build and operate an extensive fleet of tankers and container vessels. This fleet transports crude oil and refined petroleum products originating from Iran and the russian federation, as well as other cargoes, to customers worldwide, generating revenues in the tens of billions of dollars. The Shamkhani-controlled shipping network comprises a large fleet of vessels, ship-management companies, and front (shell) companies that launder billions of dollars in proceeds from the global sale of crude oil and petroleum products from Iran and the russian federation, predominantly to buyers in the People’s Republic of China. The network undertakes extensive measures to conceal its operations and to obscure links to the Shamkhani family, Iran, and the russian federation.
Marvise SMC DMCC covertly controls a fleet of dozens of vessels titled to numerous other companies that transport crude oil and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) from Iran. Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani personally oversees Marvise’s operations in Tehran, Iran.
On 30 July 2025, the United States designated the vessel IMO 9303754.
