Seven sanctioned Russian tankers have been spoofing AIS signals for 90 days to mask voyages from Novorossiysk while US-sanctioned LPG carriers were removed from Iran’s PGSA non-compliance list; the pattern shows enforcement announcements outpacing actual detentions and leaves charterers, agents and crews exposed to unpaid claims and port refusals.

The IRGC says two unnamed supertankers hit mines south of Hormuz. That claim is unconfirmed. UAE beach closures are a separate spill.
Record attacks on oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz this month force operators to reassess routing and crew exposure.
