The U.S. administration plans to ease sanctions on “shadow fleet” vessels that transported oil from Russia, Iran, and Venezuela.

The measure is intended to lower record-high global maritime freight rates.

According to Reuters, Washington is considering allowing oil and petroleum products not subject to U.S. sanctions to be transported on vessels that were previously under restrictions.

To obtain permission, companies will have to apply to the U.S. Treasury Department.
