Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Star-Forest

On February 6, 2025, the U.S. government rolled out a fresh sanctions package aimed explicitly at the 'CH Billion' tanker. This vessel illegally transported over 700,000 barrels of Iranian crude oil from a Tehran-owned tanker in Singapore waters during 2024. Additionally, the 'CH Billion' was implicated in ferrying oil from Kozmino, a key port in Russia's Pacific region. Last month saw similar sanctions placed on a fleet involved in this contentious trade, which included the tanker 'Gioiosa' and the 'Star Forest'. In a related crackdown, the US also spotlighted the Comoros-flagged tanker 'Siri'. This tanker, already facing sanctions, has attempted to operate under a false identity after its Iranian owner disguised its name and provided falsified documents, misleadingly rebranding it as 'New Prime'. Furthermore, the sanctions extended to various individuals and entities across several nations that participated in this trade, which was linked to Tehran's Armed Forces General Staff and its sanctioned proxy entity, Sepehr Energy Jahan Nama Pars.
