作为国际航运史上第一起油船载运凝析油碰撞失火事故，“桑吉”轮撞船事故背后不仅仅是高额赔偿的责任认定，更多地反映出伊朗急于抢占国际市场时却不得不面临自身原油和石油产品海运能力不足的尴尬局面，包括过度依赖哈尔克岛的输出能力、非伊朗籍船舶承担绝大多数航次和载重吨位，以及自身船舶老龄化严重、漂柜时间过长等问题，并且其航运目的地仍集中在中、日、韩、印四国，在欧洲仅获得意大利、法国部分新增份额和土耳其、希腊传统份额。
As the first collision of condensate oil tanker in history，the accident of Sanchi reflects not only the determination of liability for high compensation but also the shortage of shipping capacity on crude oil and petroleum products. Iran has been facing various problems since back to international market，including over-reliance on Jarque Island's output capacity，non-Iranian ships undertake the vast majority of voyages and deadweight tonnage，the aging of Iranian ships and long sailing time. Although Iran has been eager to seize the international market share，its shipping destinations are still focused in Asia （China，Japan，South Korea，India）. In Europe，Turkey and Greece still are Iranian traditional market，and the new market shares are concentrated in Italy and France.
