Another Iranian ship, Vina, has managed to, so far, evade the US blockade. She is an LPG / chemical tanker currently off Fujairah anchorage. A second LPG tanker has also been spotted but remains unnamed that has also, so far, evaded the US blockade. Both ships carry Iranian LPG from Iran to Yemen and are in ballast and effectively on their way home. Both ships were spotted by TankerTrackers and their information available widely, so perhaps the USN will intercept them at some point before they can enter the Strait of Hormuz for homeports in Iran.

Note....Vina is an ex Maersk (Maersk Humber) owned ship now registered in Botswana, she was built in 1998. Oddly she is also listed as named as Valley. Both names share the same IMO number, thus the same ship.

Vina, seen below, on AIS May 6, 2026.
