The fewest supertankers in at least eight months were headed for Iran as the deadline neared for a Europe Union embargo against the nation’s oil, ship-tracking data showed.

The Daylam, owned by Tehran-based NITC Co., was the only very large crude carrier signaling a future destination in Iran, according to IHS Inc. data compiled by Bloomberg. That’s the fewest ships since at least October, based on a weekly snapshot of the global fleet’s movements. The latest signals from 23 NITC tankers are more than a week old, data showed.

International tanker owners are avoiding Iran because carrying the country’s crude will cause them to lose insurance under EU sanctions taking full effect July 1. Iran is under pressure to stop a nuclear program that the U.S. and Europe suspect involves weapons development and will export 1.2 million barrels a day starting next month, down from 2.2 million last year, Barclays Plc estimates.

The following table shows the destinations and combined carrying capacity in deadweight tons of 419 VLCCs, out of a global fleet of 566, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Average drafts are expressed as a percentage of maximum sailing depth and are an indication of cargo size. Each country’s percentage share of total oil shipments is shown for the current and previous weeks.
