Sanctioned tanker headed for scrap at Alang
The 'Diana', which has been tied to high-risk trading patterns, was sold for recycling and has anchored in the demolition zone at Alang on Feb 15, 2026,in pos. 21° 22' N 072° 13' E, with no price attached to the deal. The ship was sanctioned by the US Treasury’s OFAC in Dec 2025. The vessel was removed from the Indian Register of Shipping earlier in February 2026 at the owner’s request. Its vessel history indicates frequent name changes over the years, including 'Ecostar', 'Yolanda', 'Diamond' and 'Dolphin'. The sale came as recycling activity across the Indian sub-continent remains muted, with sentiment weighed down by a steady stream of discounted shadow-fleet tonnage. Vessels linked to US, EU, UK and UN sanctions regimes have been sold for demolition at selected yards in the Alang recycling cluster in India. These transactions often involved changes in identity, layered ownership structures, and intermediary entities, raising questions about whether sanctioned assets were being dismantled before legal or regulatory processes could effectively engage. The matter has already attracted international legal attention, including actions relating to the tanker 'Sunflower', the former 'Nolan', in which claimants have argued that scrapping may constitute a prohibited dealing under applicable sanctions frameworks.
