Info:
Dr. Dimitris Cambis is a Greek shipping magnate and a President of Athene Consulting House SA and Impire Shipping;
He is sanctioned for helping Iran smuggle oil and defy international oil sanctions, and because he could be fronting for the National Iranian Tanker Company;
He bought eight very large crude carriers, or VLCCs to carry Middle East crude to Asia, flatly denied doing any business with Tehran or running clandestine shipments of its oil to China;
He denied his vessels have loaded oil from Iran while at anchor in the Gulf. Known as ship-to-ship transfers, or STS, such movements are hard to track as crews can switch off tracking beacons or not update their recorded positions for periods to conceal that one vessel has come alongside another;
Mr. Cambis used a network of front companies, including Impire Shipping, Libra Shipping, and UAE-based Sambouk Shipping, to carry out illegal ship-to-ship transfers of Iranian oil on behalf of the regime. He used the Greek-based investment fund, Athene Consulting House, to raise and organize funds for the scheme;
The US authorities imposed sanctions on Dr. Dimitris Cambis and Impire Shipping for using Iranian funds to purchase oil tankers and disguised the Iranian origin of oil transported on these vessels;
Vessels connected to Dimitris Cambis are: Leycothea – IMO 9183934, Glaros – IMO 9077850, Nereyda – IMO 9011246, Ocean Nymph – IMO 9180281, Seagull – IMO 9107655, Zap – IMO 9005235, Ocean Performer – IMO 9013749 and Ulysses I – IMO 9177155;
