The United States Treasury Department has taken decisive action by sanctioning Greek businessman Dimitris Cambis for allegedly facilitating Iran's oil trade in violation of international sanctions. Cambis, who serves as the president of Impire Shipping Ltd., has been accused of employing tactics to purchase oil tankers and disguise their cargo, enabling Iran to evade restrictions. As part of the sanctions, Cambis will have his assets within the United States frozen, as announced in a formal statement today. According to the Treasury's report, Cambis utilized Impire Shipping along with several other shell companies to acquire a fleet of eight oil tankers, which includes the BW Ubud, now known as the Ocean Nymph. These vessels have the capacity to transport oil valued at approximately $200 million per shipment and are reportedly being used to load Iranian crude directly from the nation’s own vessels.

This transaction marks another strategic acquisition in the competitive shipping industry, underscoring the ongoing demand for quality vessels within the maritime sector.
