Vessel Operator Pulls Out of Iran


Miclyn Express Offshore (MEO), a leading provider of service vessels to the offshore oil and gas industry, announced today that it has withdrawn its final three vessels and crew from Iranian waters. MEO cited the expanding international sanctions against Iran as the reason for its withdrawal. (Offshore, 4 January)

The Singapore-based company charters offshore support vessels, crew/utility vessels, tugs, barges, and coastal survey vessels to customers in the Middle East and Southeast Asia.

hey, are Ahmedinejad's advisors still imprisoned? weren't some of them released when they promised not to consort with evil spirits (other than Khomeini's)?

isn't that the sort of good news worth reporting?

Interesting that you believe Iran has been fighting the “hegemon” in the last 60 years. I always thought the Islamic Revolution happened because the government of the day was too close to the “hegemons.”

The Iranian propaganda machine does not need blogs like this. They have their Press TV, IRNA, Keyhan, etc. Let them continue propagating the “good” news. Let us concentrate on important news instead, the type of news that affects the future of the country. Hence our coverage on the country’s military developments, nuclear program, including the effects of the sanctions on the country’s economy, international and regional developments that could change the political landscape, like developments in Syria and Israel, as well as the internal political developments that affect the power structure in the country.

TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT-and you know better!!

ONE- it is true we are being fed a lot of things from the GOVERNMENT PROPAGANDA MACHINE !BUT WE CAN ASSUME, ALL THAT MESS IS A RESULT OF the state being alien to the norms of democracy .AND ANY DEMOCRATIC BLOG OR FORUM [clamoring for change] WORTHY ITS NAME CANT FOLLOW THE FOOT STEPS OF THE UNDEMOCRATIC REGIME-so how come this blog is perfecting the art of one sided coverage ,highlighting on petty negative things while ignoring and closing its eyes completely on some very positive things undertaken by the REGIME?.

TWO-it wrong to assume that 'the Iranian propaganda machine does not like this blogs like this!!..'-WE ALL THOUGHT THAT YOU ARE STRUGLNG TO TALK TO THE PEOPLE ,because it we People who can hold the Government accountable and make choices for change,YOU ARE FAILING IN YOUR JOURNALISTIC DUTY IN PROPAGATING UNBIASED NEWS IF YOU ARE STRUGGLING TO ANSWER KEYHAN,PRESS TV ,IRNA,ETC AND it sad to see our blog resorting to undemocratic tactics to put the regime in bad light!

IM DON'T CARE WHAT WEB SIGHT YOU REFERRING TO.BUT THE TRUTH IS TRUTH , LONG LIVE IRAN AND THOSE WHO LOVE THIS GREAT NATION AND THEIR HEART IS BEATING FOR IRAN EVERY SECOND.
