It is now indicated that Russian ships cannot deliver imported cargo, stop for refueling, anchor or use sea routes.
The Government of Bangladesh has sent notices to relevant ministries, departments, ports, shipping companies and international organizations about the new restrictions.
“The ban on the passage of ships flying the Russian flag was jointly introduced by the United States and the European Union. If any goods arrive in Bangladesh on these ships, our country will also join the ban. The bulk of our international trade is with the EU and the United States,” explained the chairman. Bangladesh Shipowners Association (BOGSA) Azam Jay Chowdhury.
The ban applies to a wide range of vessels, including oil tankers and cargo ships operated by the seven companies. The restrictions mean that no import or delivery agents can import goods from any country using these Russian vehicles.
Bangladesh has a major joint project with Russia – the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant. A significant part of the equipment and materials for this project was imported from Russia. Recently, a Russian ship carrying materials for the station was barred from crossing the Bangladesh maritime border due to US diplomatic pressure. The ship tried to dock at the Indian port of Haldia to deliver the cargo, but was denied there as well. Ultimately, the ship returned to Russia with its cargo.
Bangladesh mainly imports wheat and oil products from Russia and exports garments to this country. Russia is not among the country’s top 20 trading partners, accounting for 87% of trade.
Recall that in April 2022, EU countries closed their ports to Russian ships. This measure affected all ships registered under the Russian flag, as well as those that changed their Russian registration after February 24.
It has also been reported that the London Marine Market of Insurers has declared all Russian sea waters a “war zone”. Such a decision will significantly complicate the conduct of international trade by the Russian Federation.
