Summary

OFAC added 19 entities and 19 vessels to the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List under Executive Order 13902 (Iran). The designations target a network of shipping companies and a petrochemical refinery involved in Iranian petroleum trade, spanning jurisdictions including China, Hong Kong, Panama, Marshall Islands, Liberia, and Vietnam. OFAC concurrently issued General License V authorizing a 30-day wind-down period for transactions involving Hengli Petrochemical (Dalian) Refinery Co., Ltd.

“Authorizing the Wind Down of Transactions Involving Hengli Petrochemical (Dalian) Refinery Co., Ltd.”

OFAC , verbatim from source
Why this matters

Companies in the maritime shipping and petroleum trading sectors should immediately review their counterparty databases, vessel charters, and commercial relationships against the 19 newly designated entities and their linked vessels. The concurrent issuance of a wind-down license for Hengli Petrochemical suggests a deliberate enforcement strategy targeting the Iranian petroleum trade supply chain rather than immediate full blocking — firms with analogous exposure to Iranian-origin petroleum products or shipping services used by similar networks should assess whether their counterparties or vessels may be at risk of designation.

About this source

The US Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control administers and enforces every US economic and trade sanctions program. The recent actions page publishes new designations to the SDN list, general license issuances and amendments, country program updates, and enforcement settlements. Around 35 actions a month. Each OFAC action is operationally consequential: a new SDN designation triggers immediate freezes on US-touched assets and forces compliance teams worldwide to rescreen counterparties within hours. Watch this if you run a sanctions compliance program, advise on cross-border payments, or trade in commodities exposed to Russia, Iran, North Korea, or Venezuela sanctions. Recent: sanctions on Iranian missile and UAV procurement networks, Russia general license 134B authorizing Russian oil delivery, counter-terrorism and Sudan sanctions designations.

What changed

OFAC has added 19 entities and 19 vessels to the SDN List under Iran-related Executive Order 13902, significantly expanding sanctions on the Iranian petroleum sector. The entities include shipping companies registered in Hong Kong, Panama, Marshall Islands, Liberia, and Vietnam, as well as Hengli Petrochemical (Dalian) Refinery Co., Ltd. in China. The vessels are linked to designated entities and include crude oil tankers, LPG carriers, and chemical/oil tankers. In a related action, OFAC issued General License V authorizing the wind-down of transactions involving Hengli Petrochemical over a specified period. Affected parties in the shipping, maritime, petroleum, and petrochemical sectors must immediately screen their counterparties, transactions, and supply chains against the updated SDN List to ensure compliance with OFAC sanctions prohibitions.

What to do next

  1. Screen all counterparties against the updated SDN List immediately
  2. Cease all transactions with newly designated entities unless authorized by OFAC license
  3. Submit required reports to OFAC for any blocked property
