Shipping Corporation of India (SCI) will resume sailing to Iran this month after a four-year gap, transporting an oil cargo for a state-run refiner, Vanguard reported. SCI stopped sailing to Iran in 2012 when sanctions targeting Iran's nuclear program prevented the company obtaining insurance cover for oil and other shipments, informed Hellenic Shipping News. Following the lifting in January of Western sanctions, International Group of Protection and Indemnity (P&I) Clubs, which generally insure the tanker market, have been able to obtain 'fall-back cover' from non-US markets. In December, SCI will use one of its Suezmax-sized tankers to ship an oil cargo for state-refiner Hindustan Petroleum Corp. Ltd. (HPCL) from Iran.
