The M/T Davina supertanker, also known as Lenore, can carry up to two million barrels of crude oil and was placed under US sanctions in October 2024 over Iranian oil trading. Reuters, citing ship-tracking data, reported that the vessel was last seen on Friday off Sri Lanka’s southern coast and appeared to be almost fully loaded. US Indo-Pacific Command said its forces would continue to deny “illicit actors and their vessels freedom of maneuver in the maritime domain.”
