🇮🇷 Iran
Persian Gulf · LNG Terminal
Iran is under comprehensive OFAC sanctions (E.O. 13599, 13902 et al.) plus EU and UN program restrictions. Vessels calling here face Tier-1 screening risk.
Vessels calling at Assaluyeh in Iran operate in the most strategically contested maritime chokepoint in the world. Roughly one-third of seaborne oil transits the Strait of Hormuz adjacent to the port, and the Joint War Committee maintains listed-area designations covering this waterway. Iran's IRGCN has a documented history of detaining foreign-flagged tankers here, and drone and missile strikes on commercial shipping have become a recurring feature since 2019. Beyond kinetic threats, extreme heat, sandstorms, and a congested traffic separation scheme add operational complexity. Sanctions screening for any vessel with Iranian-trade exposure is mandatory — ArcNautical cross-references ownership chains against OFAC, UN, and EU lists before a voyage is committed.
No port-call data observed at Assaluyeh in the last 180 days. ArcNautical's AIS coverage focuses on the world's commercial shipping lanes; smaller or specialised ports may not register sufficient traffic for a meaningful breakdown.
Assaluyeh falls under the Indian Ocean MoU. The Indian Ocean Memorandum of Understanding does not publish a public bulk detention feed. PSC inspection regimes across India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, the Maldives, Mauritius, Iran, and the African Indian Ocean states vary in rigour. ArcNautical evaluates vessel-level detention probability using flag performance, age, deficiency history, and ownership opacity signals.
