Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Golsan

On January 7, 2021, the tanker Golsan made its arrival at the Venezuelan port of La Guaira at 7:25 PM, marking a significant moment in the ongoing commercial engagement between Venezuela and Iran despite U.S. sanctions. This partnership has seen Iran step in to provide gasoline to Venezuela, helping to alleviate the severe fuel shortages resulting from the deterioration of the country's refineries, compounded by international sanctions. In addition to fuel supplies, Iran has also sent food shipments to support the government led by President Nicolas Maduro. The Golsan, which set sail from Bandar Abbas on October 25, 2020, has raised questions about the specifics of its cargo upon arrival, which were not immediately disclosed.

On June 21, 2020, the cargo vessel 'Golsan' docked at La Guaira, Venezuela, bringing essential food supplies to support the country's inaugural Iranian supermarket. This shipment follows a significant fuel delivery from Iran to Venezuela, which saw 1.5 million barrels of fuel arrive last month, addressing the challenges posed by the country's struggling refinery operations and escalating U.S. sanctions that hinder fuel acquisition on global markets. Departing from Bandar Abbas on May 15, the 'Golsan' is one of several tankers that have recently played a crucial role in facilitating the transportation of resources between Iran and Venezuela. In March, five tankers set sail from the same Iranian port, reinforcing the ongoing partnership. Iran plans to send two to three shipments of gasoline to Venezuela each month, which will contribute to reducing Iran's excess gasoline inventory while helping to mitigate the fuel crisis in Venezuela.
