Now you see and now you don’t, the veil is being pulled back over the Iranian fleet. I don’t know how it felt for you, but for us, it was fun to launch our electronics and check the satellites pinging back the location of the Iranian vessels. You will see more about our in-house capabilities in the coming weeks! After a brief spell in the limelight, the Iranian ships have had enough. Two days ago, 54 Iranian-flagged crude vessels switched on their AIS for the first time in 7 years, but the pings are falling silent. According to The Officials’ peering eye, today 34 Iranian vessels were pinging their location, and since that number has fallen to only 17– some haven’t been refreshed for hours! Back into the shadows they sail. Poof, they are gone!
