#1 If they've 'gone dark', doesn't that make them somewhat harder to find when they experience technical difficulties (like 'expectantly' filling with water)?
Just asking.

#2 Costs as much to ship the stuff. If they're getting buyers by selling below market, they're not making as much money, which is not as good as making no money, but it's got to hurt.
Ships have transponders for a reason. Without one...and if, say, pirates disable it....
#3 Watch the ports of the usual suspects with reasonably sized economies: China, Russia. And it's not going to be too hard to see how long it takes them to return.

Given the Ships' dimensions + capacities in comparison to the really Big Boyz of the Energy Industry, etc. I would surmise that Tehran wants to be as inconspicuous as possible.

Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
