Two Lebanese-owned tankers have been conducting ship-to-ship transfers of Iranian oil in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Syria, according to reports from TankerTrackers.com. On June 26, the tanker Sandro received 350,000 barrels of refined oil from the Iran-flagged tanker Jasmine, which is on a U.S. Treasury watch list. On July 25, the U.S.-sanctioned, Iran-flagged tanker Silvia I transferred approximately 500,000 barrels of crude oil to the tanker Sandro. Jasmine is owned by the Lebanon-based firm Africo 1 (Off-Shore) SAL, which took ownership of the tanker in February. Jasmine has since turned off its location transponder. The firm Sandro Overseas (Off Shore) SAL, also based in Lebanon, became the owner of Sandro on May 30; the tanker turned off its location transponder five days later. Corporate records show that Africo 1 and Sandro Overseas share the same listed owners: Lebanese nationals Marwan Ramadan, Bilal Atris, and Khalid Deeb. The ownership of the two companies changed between December 2018 and January 2019. The Syrian Oil Ministry recently awarded Sandro Overseas a contract to process oil residues from Syria, replacing Synergy SAL Offshore, which has also been connected with Iranian oil shipments and was sanctioned by the United States in June. According to corporate records, Synergy SAL Offshore and Sandro Overseas list the same address in the Al-Azarieh Building in Beirut; Africo 1 also lists the building as an address. According to the Syria Report, there is a "high probability" that Sandro Overseas is connected to Samer Foz, a Syrian businessman who was also sanctioned by the United States in June. Phone records also indicate a connection between Foz and Synergy SAL Offshore.
