ISO IR · Grey List (elevated)
OFAC comprehensive →The Iran flag holds Grey List (elevated) placement across the two largest port state control regimes. Detention rates reflect the percentage of IR-flagged vessels detained out of all inspections at member-state ports over the most recent three-year window. Grey-list flags face elevated PSC scrutiny relative to white-list registries; detention rates are typically 2-3× the best-performing flags.
