Iraqi Oil Ministry clarifies SOMO not linked to shadow fleet tanker
The Iraqi Ministry of Oil has confirmed that the Iraq Petroleum Marketing Company "SOMO" has no contractual or commercial relationship with the tanker "Pineary Star," which entered Iraqi territorial waters and carried oil shipments at the Al-Faw Port in August of last year. This comes after statements linking the tanker previously to the name "Kordos 3," which has been listed on international sanctions lists since late 2025 due to its role in transporting Iranian oil through a "shadow fleet" to circumvent international sanctions. The ministry emphasizes that "SOMO" has no connection to the owner or operator of the tanker, and confirms that there is no contractual or investment relationship between the two parties.
