A tanker named LPG SEVAN, with identification number 9177806, was placed under sanctions on April 24, 2026, according to @TankerTrackers. The vessel had recently loaded cargo in Iran before the measures took effect. The LPG SEVAN is involved in transporting liquefied petroleum gas, as indicated by its name and operations.
@TankerTrackers reported that the tanker makes frequent deliveries to Bangladesh. In addition, the vessel is known to make frequent deliveries to the Houthis in Yemen, with these occurring alongside those to Bangladesh. No further details on the cargo or specific delivery dates were provided.
A photo referenced in reports depicts a NITC tanker carrying crude oil, not the LPG SEVAN. The sanctions on the LPG SEVAN were imposed one day before the clarification on the photo, per @TankerTrackers.
