The alleged violations involve World Fuel's facilitation of a sale by one of its non-U.S. affiliates of fuel for a vessel at port in Bandar Abbas, Iran, on or about June 23, 2008; the facilitation by a U.S. subsidiary of World Fuel of services and fuel purchases for an aircraft that stopped in Khartoum, Sudan, on or about January 29, 2009; and coordination services provided by two U.S. subsidiaries of World Fuel for 30 unlicensed flights to Cuba, between on or about March 18, 2007, and on or about April 13, 2009.
OFAC determined that World Fuel voluntarily self-disclosed the alleged violations of the ITR and SSR, but did not voluntarily self-disclose the alleged violations of the CACR, and that all of the alleged violations constitute a non-egregious case. The total transaction value for the alleged violations was $79,219, and the base penalty was $73,151. The settlement amount reflects OFAC's consideration of the following facts and circumstances pursuant to the General Factors under OFAC's Economic Sanctions Enforcement Guidelines, 31 C.F.R. part 501, app. A: World Fuel has no history of prior OFAC violations; World Fuel cooperated with OFAC's investigation, including signing a statute of limitations tolling agreement; and World Fuel has enhanced its OFAC compliance plan.
