The U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned the Panama- and Greece-based law firm Karnakis & Karnakis, five of its owners and employees, two shipping agents, and nine vessels on Wednesday as part of Operation Economic Outcast, a campaign targeting Iranian sanctions evasion.
According to the Treasury Department, Karnakis & Karnakis registered shipping companies that own shadow fleet vessels responsible for transporting hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of Iranian exports.
Treasury also designated Roxette Maritime Shipping and Trading and seven Panama-flagged cargo ships under its management: ANEMOS, GLORIS, PRIDE, DESTINY, FLAMINGO 1, HARMONY, and PRINCE. Treasury says only the first three vessels transported Iranian exports during the past year.
The two shipping agents targeted were Singapore-based Amigoz, which Treasury alleges provided bunkering services to the sanctioned tanker ZIXUAN, and Dubai-based Whales Shipping Line, which owns two support vessels that were also sanctioned.
