About this designation

LIA appears on the US Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List under the SDGT] [VENEZUELA-EO13850 program. US persons and entities are prohibited from engaging in transactions with this vessel, and any property or interests in property within US jurisdiction must be blocked and reported to OFAC.

Why this designation matters

LIA falls within the economic and financial sector of Venezuela's sanctions landscape. This sector encompasses PDVSA and its subsidiaries, the Central Bank of Venezuela (BCV), state mining operations, and the financial intermediaries that facilitate transactions for the Maduro government's oil, gold, and sovereign debt operations. OFAC's listing explicitly links LIA to FIDES SHIP MANAGEMENT LLC and NATIVA MANAGEMENT LTD, indicating documented relationships of ownership, control, or beneficial interest. As a designated vessel, LIA is blocked property under US sanctions law. Any port, refinery, or shipping insurer under US jurisdiction is prohibited from servicing this vessel, and the designation effectively restricts its ability to carry Venezuelan crude or refined products in international commerce.
