Eight hulls, IMO and linked owner as published: AL SALMI 9298296 (Billion Nexus); BREEZE V 9259355 (Nevada Spirit); CRYSTAL 9223887 (Vast Mighty); LILY / DANYA 9294331 (Confident Apex); NATSUMI 9331244 (Marinova Freight); NIRETA 9237785 (Ocean Tranquility); WELL SAIL 9321938 (Qi Hang); YEHOPE 9243320 (Branch Saying).

No action page was published for 18 August 2026.

Assessment

For a sanctions committee, the lookback is the published owner names, the eight vessel IMOs, and the [IRAN-EO13902] tag.

For a country GM/CFO, HormuzSafe Marine Services Authority and Persian Gulf Marine Insurance Company are the class to check against fixture, cargo, and insurance files.

For a vendor/platform, calendar the eight IMO hulls on the next list pull; treating the Hormuz marine-insurance names as a travel advisory is the wrong class.

What would change this call

Does OFAC add a linked owner or vessel on this E.O. 13902 book, or amend the secondary-sanctions posture of HormuzSafe or Persian Gulf Marine Insurance, before the next pull? Hit if a new OFAC action touching this book appears on /recent-actions. Miss if the 29 July page remains the latest entry on this book.

What to check next

Open question	What it takes	Where that comes from
Do the eight IMOs remain listed with the same linked owners?	A later sanctions-list update touching these IMOs	/recent-actions day pages after 29 July
Is there a removal or license on this book?	A general license or removal entry under Iran	/recent-actions

Confidence

High on the official day-page reading. The OFAC recent-actions day page for 29 July 2026 carries the release date, the E.O. 13902 tags, the entity names, the eight vessel IMOs, and the linked-owner fields. No action page was published for 18 August 2026.
