US sanctions target Iranian-linked vessels, disrupting global maritime services and increasing compliance risks. — Verify vessel history and trade patterns to ensure compliance with new US sanctions. · Anticipate potential delays or cancellations for vessels previously involved in Iranian trade due to revoked service licenses. · Assess bunkering and repair options for affected vessels, as traditional service providers may refuse support. · Advise clients on increased due diligence requirements for all sea freight bookings to avoid penalties.
