UN sanctions listing
KOREA SAMMA SHIPPING CO
KOREA SAMMA SHIPPING CO is an organisation designated on the United Nations Security Council (UN) sanctions list under the DPRK programme, listed on 2018-03-30. This page summarises the public designation — known aliases, identifying particulars, the stated reason for listing and linked parties — alongside an independent, transparent risk indicator.
Reason for listing
A DPRK-flagged tanker, SAM MA 2 owned by Korea Samma Shipping Company, conducted a ship-to-ship transfer of oil and fabricated documents in mid-October 2017, loading almost 1,600 metric tons of fuel oil in one transaction. The ship master was instructed to erase SAMMA SHIPPING and the Korean words found on the ship’s seal and instead put “Hai Xin You 606” to mask its identity as a DPRK vessel. IMO number: 5145892.

The instant review above is drawn from the public lists.
