Iran Is Hiding 51 Million Oil Barrels At Sea, Maritime Tracker Reports
With yesterday's appearance what seems like the first Iran oil tanker to set sail post-nuke-deal, Haaretz reports that Iran has been hiding millions of barrels of oil it never reported to the United States or in the world oil market, according to a company that has developed sophisticated maritime tracking technology. With the world’s fourth-largest oil reserves, Iran denies it’s storing oil at sea, despite reports that surfaced in The New York Times as early as 2012; but Ami Daniel, Windward founder and cochairman, shows "the Iranians are taking huge, 280-meter-long ships and filling them with oil, to sit at sea and wait. Because the sanctions allow for production of only three million barrels a day, they began storing the remainder... oil tankers have been sitting in the Gulf for anywhere between three and six months, just waiting for orders."
Searching for ships that do not want to be found...
As Bloomberg explains, based in Tel Aviv, Windward was founded four years ago by two Israeli naval officers...
The algorithms Windward developed were initially intended to tackle illegal fishing by analyzing and profiling normative patterns in sea traffic. The entrepreneurs discovered that their technology could also be used to monitor unusual behavior near, say, oil-drilling ports in Libya.
These anomalies of maritime behavior, which occur daily, would have probably gone undetected in the past. Today, advanced satellite imaging and communications technology, coupled with analytical software developed by an Israeli startup called Windward, identifies potential illegal activity in real time.
"Everything affects everything else in the sea,” Daniel said in an interview. "We see when things are beginning to happen. We give you the insight first because we can see when patterns start changing.”
According to Windward, the Iranian ships are purposely hiding their cargo.
According to Windward, the amount of oil Iran is storing offshore has jumped more than 150% over the last year to over 51 million barrels as of Wednesday. The increase coincided with nuclear talks with world powers led by the U.S. while Iranian President Hassan Rohani publicly claimed Iran did not have enough oil to fulfill its own needs.
The amount of oil Iran is holding is far larger than the daily quota of 30 million barrels imposed by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries on its members.
...
Iran currently produces 3.3 million barrels of oil daily, according to the U.S. Energy Agency, slightly more than the three-million-barrel ceiling stipulated by the sanctions, which allow Iran to export no more than one million barrels a day.
Limitations were also placed on Iran’s oil-storage facilities, which Tehran apparently circumvented with the offshore storage scheme. The amount of oil involved is quite extensive: Annually, Iran pumps 1.204 billion barrels of oil, meaning the offshore oil stores reported by Windward account for 4.2% of Iran’s yearly production. In total, there are 28 Iranian tankers in the Gulf, each holding between one and two million barrels, according to Windward.

Obama rules!
Now go look up how much oil the US consumes in a day...
Where do they hand out brains??
http://galeinnes.blogspot.com/2015/07/social-herds-economic-turds.html
$20 oil coming. Praise Allah! Fuck you polluting frackers! I will get downvoted for this and that is fine. I would support the U.S. tracking industry if they spent money on developing cleaner technologies versus lobbying and bribes to politicians. They have ruins millions of acres of pristine land and poisoned thousands of wells. Fuck em' in the other ear!
Someone gets it, yay!!!
DEFLATION DEFLATION DEFLATION!!!
Welcome to the STAGNATION OF THE ENSUING DEPRESSION!!!

<------Bahahaha
<------It's a common sense agreement that the majority of Americans support that will prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons.
I hope that stuff doesn't have a shelf life like ours does.

So what? Oh, yea, every fucker on this planet needs permission from Uncle Slaver for everything from to storing oil to squatting and taking a shit. Forgot.
Good thing an Israeli company is keeping an eye on Iran for nefarious activities involving oil.
The same thing does not apply to Israel, however. The Swiss courts order for Israel to pay a $1.1 billion judgement to Iran is just being ignored. Israel says it doesn't have to pay anything for stuff it steals from enemies. International law only applies if it makes Israel some easy money. If Israel ever has to pay as a result of a judgement, then it's no longer international law - it's anti-Semitism. Donald Trump will fix that!
The Eilat Ashkelon Pipeline Company (EAPC) still operates today. It was a joint venture between Iran and Israel - the Shah wanted an alternate route to ship Iran's oil in case the Suez canal was closed, and Israel wanted a source of crude. They built this pipeline (the blue one). Once the management of Iran changed, Israel decided to just keep Iran's half of the pipeline and their investment - because they didn't like Iran anymore. The Swiss courts finally called bullshit thirty-five years later and told Israel and the EAPC to pay the hell up for the stolen pipeline. Israel said they won't because they don't want to. Case closed.
Bibi is serious about this one. Don't piss him off and make him send American soldiers to die in Iran in order to avoid payment. Israel stole the pipeline fair and square, and their U.S. congressional bitches back them up 100%. Sorry about the $1.1 billion theft, Iran - you get NOTHING.
Now back to the outrageous act of 'hiding' your own oil in tankers in your own waters in defiance of OPEC. You Iraninan bastards! Launch the NUKES!
Don't worry. Those newly-discounted Ford trucks will be flying off the lots and sucking up that excess oil.
Just don't get in a wreck. The replacement parts will only be available to dealers and not to non dealer collision centers.

"The algorithms Windward developed were initially intended to tackle illegal fishing"
LOLOLOLOLOL.
Read that one a couple of times.
Who gives a fuck how much oil they had where? They did not "report" it to the US?
No wonder everyone fucking hates us.
pods
Dog bless Mr. Market.
Sometimes reality bites the right people.
Israeli Entrepreneurs!! X-Naval Officers!!
LOL....this is what I read ---- x naval officers who stole military intellectual property...probably codeveloped with Americans (i.e. taxpayer money)
IT"S FOR THE FISH YOU GODDAMN ANTI-SEMITE!
There, now I feel better and can go back to laughing about why they developed this.
Can't have overfishing or Jesus is gonna have to miracle some more!
pods
Be careful or you may be sleeping with the fishes? LOL!
" thanks for all the fish"
Bullshit. Fuck it! Give ISIS 20 stinger missiles, and give Haliburton the clean-up contract. Win win situation!
I agree with you. I used to care about the land. Now I dump used motor oil for mosquito control.
Pouring that used oil on the base of wooden fenceposts extends their lifespan too.
yeah and don't fo'get d'horse ya'all rode in on...nice 'fro...
it's about 2 Million Barrels stored, fairly minor compared to US Imports,
which are 7 million barrels/ day so for a week this backlog might affect Prices.
now Iran has about 3 Million Bbl/day daily production so if that comes onto global markets
and Iran is a low cost producer, that could easily wipe out a lot of shale oil plays
in North Dakota and Texas.
Hows about on your back side, good a place as any to start.
I'm lazy so why don't you say how much that is?
You obviously know!
Who the fuck cares? Their oil.
Oh noes, Mexico is storing millions of gallons of tequila in metal tanks on land and aren't reporting it to the world tequila council! Bomb them!
I bet this is why the world oceans are rising!! (call Gore!!!) all that 'on ship' oil storage!! It's basic fluid physics!
lol
"Israel determines Iran in fact caused Globull warming sea level rise."
pods
But isn't oil lighter than water?
If the people at ZH were short tequila we'd here about that needless storage of which you speak.
I don't know. Might not want all that storage to hit market and have it mean nothing either.
Also storing oil at sea is VERY expensive.
That's why the ships are so massive..."get more to port more quickly."
Sounds like a lot of "Supertankers" are about to hit the market.
Probably not a bad buy if you're an oil refining company.
Land storage is obviously WAY better if you are in fact a producer.
The price everyone is listing for crude oil right looks like total bullshit to me.
Its $1.26/L here now, when Oil was at $110/bbl the pump price here was $1.31/L.
Bullshit you say, I'd agree.
Exactly, China is hiding gold,
Israel hiding nukes,
USa & UK hiding debt.
We all got secrets. :p
So what. It's their damned oil. They are storing their oil, not hiding it. Just like the NSA is storing the personal digital information of every American.
No kidding, we tried like hell not to let them sell to anyone. A shocker they have extra barrels kickin around.
So go bomb the shops. They can't be that hard to find.
Oh look a Sea Hag
Pelosi: ‘No, No,’ Release of 4 U.S. Hostages Held by Iran Should Not Be Part of Nuke Deal

Its because there never was a DEAL you wench!
Buy food and water.
The oil is irrelevant.
Burn wood.
No jobs or factories anyway in America.
So, Gartman was right after all for the first time
Good. Send oil to $10 a barrel. Nobody will complain except the morons who bought at the top in oil with idiotic shale plays.
You don't hide millions of barrels of oil in this world. Besides, those oil tankers have had that oil on them for so long I'll bet they drag the bottom with barnacles when they finally leave port.
I read about them 2 or 3 years ago. There over 90 tankers then.
Like I trust the Israeli's to be honest about Iran.
Nigga, please.
There's Niggers here?
tanks fo' aksin' so nice like bruthah...
It's a shame these guys weren't around in the late 1960's. Their research might have stopped Israel 'accidentally' trying to murder the crew of the USS Liberty, then sink it.
but..but
wikipedia sez it was on accident, but there's some 'controversy'.... you know...the kind fomented by tin fil hat nuts and jew hating nazis.

AND *someone* is buying oil from ISIS.
That we never hear 'who' means its the Israelis....
that explains why ISIS never attacks Israel. Israel is ISIS' best customer.
ISIS is Israel's golem.
Im sure part of the deal was to keep them hidden.
Obummer stept into it again.
Lick your shoes half a negro.
Hmm..An Israeli owned company making these claims?? I'M SHOCKED, shocked!!
Trying to blow up the Iran nuclear deal any fucking way they can!
This is outrageous and likely total propaganda dogshit!
It's about time Israel's chemical, biological and nuke holdings were placed under the microscope. Goose meet gander.

Si it could be 28 million.

3 years stuck at sea, may god heal those prostitutes innards.
Yes, those men must be very sore.
The Iranians are very tough businessmen, and hard to compete with.
They like to party, drink, and engage in every debautorous western vice.
This scares the hell out of the west, the Israelis, and Arabs, and that is why there has been sanctions for 40 years.
In a nut shell. ...
"They like to party, drink, and engage in every debautorous western vice."
The Saudi royals love them some Swedish whores and plenty 'O Western vice --- but especially if it means dishing out beheadings of lowly peasants who do too...
So how about those derivatives contracts tied to oil price, huh?

Hiding? Super Secret floating storage? Give it a rest...Just wait till we get to see what their nuke facilities can do...from afar...
since when has Israel ever played by "any" rules....
And this: an Israeli startup called Windward, identifies potential illegal activity (perhaps they should look closer to home at what they're doing occupying another Sovereign Nation... Zionist cuntz)
You mean to tell me that Iran is hiding two whole weeks of its annual production at sea in tankers? Oh my gosh! Hide the children, small animals and peak oilers! It's a nothingburger!
I hear tell that Israel is hiding at least 80 nukes.
Yes, but Israel isnt run by a bunch of religious crazies, is it?
Yes it is. Read up on Kaballah and religious zionism. Listen to the rabbis, Lieberman and Bennett. Look at how many exterrorists were rewarded with a prime ministerships.
Double post
the algorithms were initially developed to target illegal fishing? seriously? cmon dude.. that's a weak and totally unneccesarry cover story.
A tsunami of Iranian oil will wash over the American and Canadian oil patches...and will decimate what's left of good paying jobs.
The Bank of Canada scrunched their butt cheeks accordingly and have lowered interest rates, that will in turn, inflate the credit bubble.
Good times /s
The ZioNazi kike roach lie machine is desperate now.
Who cares at this point?

Israel kike roaches are hiding nukes. and hiding the fact they are genocidal pyschopaths , exploiters, deceivers and just fucking SWINE.
You know why KIKES don't eat pork? because that would be tantamount to cannibalism
They are not locat6ed in the Persian Gulf. Most of them have been parked in Singapore Harbor, many of them for years and years .... anyone with Google Earth can attest to this ....
How do you know when a Jew is lying?
When his lips move.
Asked why they were filming the Towers coming down on 911, the Jew bastards said they were sent to ''film the event''
They were set up to film BEFORE the ''event'' took place.
Nuff said,
Odigo messaging service warned off all Jews not to come to work in the towers on 911
Larry Silverstein breakfasted religiously in WTC 1 dail EXCEPT on 911.
supposedly warned Israelis - plenty of Jews died on 9/11.
http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/odigo-says-workers-were-warned...
This one always sounded like b.s. to me - no one running this sort of op would transmit to a messaging service.

The story sounds absurd, and may well not be true, and perhaps serves to act as a kind of "well poison" for Urban Moving Systems and Zim Shipping -

Imagine if you got a few drinks in him, the tales he could tell....
I was still flying at the time (retired now) and there is NOT ONE pilot I have flown with or known that believes 19 Arabs flew those aircraft.
Most don't want to discuss it for fear of losing a job.
there's certainly no way someone trained - badly - on a prop plane piloted that bird into the Pentagon...
Consider the source...

US/NATO can attack Ghaddaffi convoy and kill him but for some reason can't bomb ISIS hoodlums parading around in broad daylight driving New Toyotas and wearing white Nike shoes.
I guess my question is...so what?
First your source is an Israeli newspaper which every person on the planet knows has an axe to grind and secondly I dont see why this is considered newsworthy unless its just a slow day.
The Israeli kikeroaches are trying to show that somehow Iran did something illegal.
They will do AnYTHING to scuttle this deal and I think a big false flag attack is being planned and pinned on Iran.
Your term "kikeroaches" does nothing to forward your sentiments.
But that is what they are, in fact they are lower than whaleshit and so are the people that support them.
Why does the US govt demonize the crew of the USS Liberty???
The BIG LIE keeps being repeated and most Americans believe it but it never happened.
Never did Ahmadjinehad say that Iran wanted to wipe 'Israel off the map'' . Total mistranslation
What he DID say is the Zionists have to go and even Iranian Jews agree to that.

for the explicit purpose of manipulating oil futures?

Americans are told that Hezbollah and Hamas are terrorists but in fact they are fighting to keep their land from the Zionist thieves and genocidal maniacs of Israel.
Israel wants to annex Lebanon and Syria eventually also all for their dream of Lebensraum and a Greater Israel.
No different than Adolph Hitler
In fact, Hitler never targetted children and hospitals, like the ZioNazis of Israel do and even laugh about it.
The only reason Israel wants to destroy Iran
is not the fictional "military threat to Israel"---
it is because Iran's support of Hamas, Hezbollah, and Assad
is the only obstacle in the way of Israel conquering Gaza,
Lebanon, and western Syria and extending Israel's border
to the Mediterranean.
Exactly what I just said.
Also to get a Rothschild private central bank in Iran. Muslims are against USURY. But Jews feed on it.

Its amazing how many Americans believe the loony ''19 Arabs with boxcutters'' CONSPIRACY.
The headline of this item is totally wrong. The storage of crude on tankers by the Iranians has been well known by the industry and even the mainstream media for a long time. The Iranians have been planning to use it as a buffer stock while they restore production at their wells. In any case the maximum amount in floating storage represents only a few weeks of their assigned OPEC quota. Only a contorted zionist viewpoint can claim that their actions are in any way illegal. I suggest that "Windward" offer its services to the Greek government which is badly in need of a monitoring agency for its own illegal crude speculators who pay no taxes.
You all know how hard it is to hide a tanker.
David Copperfield must have had a hand in this.
Ehud Cupperfeldt?
Don't go to Tel Aviv for truth about Iran!
The only thing that pisses me off about this story is that I can't bury a massive tank full of gas or diesel and expect it to be viable in the future. Or rather, expect that I could do so and not attract the ire of the authorities.
You know, back in the day you could bury a tank or old railway wagon full of damn near anything and as long as you didn't damage anyone's property, water etc., no harm no foul.
This story is about BS algorithms from the scammers and fraudsters of the tribe who put out tripe and sell it as filet minion!
