Background
Ocean Allianz Shipping LLC is a Dubai-registered shipping company designated by OFAC on 11 May 2026 under Operation Economic Fury. Its name identifies it as the shipping and logistics Arm of the UAE cluster within the IRGC's multi-jurisdictional oil-transport network.
Shipping LLC designations in Dubai specifically target the vessels, routes, and freight contracts that move sanctioned Iranian crude from Iranian ports or offshore ship-to-ship transfer points to buyers in Asia. The entity's UAE registration provided access to Dubai's port infrastructure and shipping finance ecosystem; OFAC's designation severs that access and triggers flag-state enforcement obligations on any vessels it operated.
