Tanker 'Neverland' trying to bring Kurdish oil to US after 3 years

[tankertracker]

An oil tanker carrying Kurdish crude appears to be en route to the U.S., reviving a trade from three years ago that became a symbol of a dispute between the semi-autonomous region in Iraq and the federal government in Baghdad.

The Aframax tanker Neverland, which normally hauls about 650,000 barrels, exited the Mediterranean Sea two days ago, according to vessel tracking data compiled by Bloomberg. A week earlier, it left a port in southern Turkey from where Kurdistan Regional Government cargoes are shipped by traders.

IMO 9290397 is tanker UNITED KALAVRYTA, currently off Port Said, Egypt after apparently loading in Libya.

NEVERLAND is IMO 9247390
The AIS transponder may not be turned off, just out of range of land-based monitors, but received by satellites.

You're right, it's 9247390. I pasted the wrong one because I was looking up the last tanker to be turned around trying to reach the US (UNITED KALAVRYTA).
