Sanctioned tanker diverts Iranian crude from India to China amid payment concerns
A U.S.-sanctioned oil tanker carrying Iranian crude has changed course from India to China, raising uncertainty over what could have been India’s first Iranian oil import in nearly seven years. The Aframax tanker Ping Shun, built in 2002 and sanctioned by the United States in 2025, is now signaling Dongying, China, as its destination instead of Vadinar in Gujarat, according to data from Kpler.
