Iran’s Tanker Arrives in Venezuela to Load Oil - Tasnim News Agency

Ndros, a crude tanker booked by the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC), has arrived at the Venezuelan coast and is expected to load the South American country’s crude, a report said.

Ndros is scheduled to load 1.9m bbl of Merey 16 at Venezuela’s government-controlled port of Jose, according to a document seen by Bloomberg News.

The document says the ship has been booked by NIOC, which is listed as a client in the transaction, while Venezuelan state-owned company PdVSA is designated as a shipper.

VLCC Ndros is 2nd to load crude for the NIOC, according to data compiled by Bloomberg; in September, the Iran-flagged ship Horse was the first to load Venezuelan crude for the NIOC.
