Hong Kong delists Iran-linked ships

摘要

Hong Kong's ship register has asked the owners of 19 vessels with alleged links to the Iranian national shipping line IRISL to stop operating under the Hong Kong flag. SF Wong, the Hong Kong Shipping Register's general manager, told SAS on 14 November that it made the move because of "safety concerns" related to these vessels. "We don't have evidence that they're linked to the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines," he pointed out.
