Images released by the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM) show three SH-60 Sea Hawk helicopters above the supertanker <em>Davina<\/em>, which has been sanctioned by the United States since 2024 over suspicions of dealing in Iranian oil and by Ukraine in connection with Russia&#8217;s war of aggression against the country.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Davina<\/em> sails officially under the Tanzanian flag, but according to internet trade portals it has also appeared under the name <em>Lenore<\/em> with the Cura\u00e7ao flag. The ship was built in 1993 for a Japanese operator, and from 2010 it sailed as <em>Ace Shanghai<\/em> under the flags of Tuvalu and Malaysia, then from 2021 as <em>Hong Kong<\/em> under the flags of Panama, Mongolia and Sierra Leone.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_48794\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48794\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-48794\" src=\"https:\/\/draftidf.co.il\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/US-Special-Forces-Board-Tankers-Again-in-the-Indian-Ocean.jpg\" alt=\"Blick aus einem der Hubschrauber auf das Zielschiff. \" width=\"696\" height=\"464\" title=\"US-Spezialkr\u00e4fte entern erneut Tanker im Indischen Ozean 2\"   data-eio=\"l\"><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<h3><strong>US-Spezialkr\u00e4fte brachten bereits zwei andere Tanker auf<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Davina was last reported off the south coast of Sri Lanka, and according to its draft it was nearly fully loaded. It has a capacity of just under two million barrels of crude oil. Since the start of the year, the United States, in connection with its maritime blockades, has first targeted Venezuela and later Iran with a number of so-called shadow fleets on the world&#8217;s seas. Thus the Davina is already the third supertanker with connections to Iran that has been boarded in the Indian Ocean since April 13.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, U.S. Marines stormed a container ship in the Gulf of Oman on April 19 after it attempted to breach the blockade of Iranian ports and was stopped by American artillery fire. In February, the United States also boarded three tankers in the Indian Ocean that had fled from the coast of Venezuela. Other actions took place in the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic. European countries have also repeatedly acted against suspected ships of the Russian shadow fleet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1045,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[180,252,520,521,300,519],"class_list":["post-1044","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-board","tag-forces","tag-indian","tag-ocean","tag-special","tag-tankers","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33","resize-featured-image"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
