MT Marivex, Settebello, MT Jalveer: All about 3 vessels with Indian crew struck by US near Oman

Three vessels, MT Marivex, Settebello, and MT Jalveer, with Indian crew on board, have been struck by the US Navy near Oman. Each of the vessels has a complicated history with inspection deficiencies, detentions, and sanctions. MT Marivex was previously sanctioned by the US Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control for transporting Iranian fuel oil and bitumen. Settebello has also had a chequered past, with its owners and operators linked to various maritime issues.
