The government explained that the sanctions were imposed against courts involved in activities whose purpose or consequence is to destabilize, undermine or threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty or independence of Ukraine.
All of the vessels listed are involved in the transportation of oil or petroleum products originating from Russia to third countries. These vessels fly the flags of Panama, Gabon and the Cook Islands.
These vessels are prohibited from accessing UK ports, nor are their masters or pilots allowed to enter them. The tankers’ registration in the UK Court Register may be suspended. The masters and pilots of these vessels may be issued with a detention order.
In June, the EU adopted the 14th package of sanctions against Russia, including restrictions on the transit of Russian liquefied natural gas through European ports. 116 individuals and legal entities of the Russian Federation were subject to restrictions.
However, the European Union will continue to buy Russian liquefied gas, but will ban its re-export under a new package of sanctions. A ban on airlines operating charters and private flights around the world on behalf of Russian citizens has also come into effect.
As the EU Council stated, EU companies are responsible for ensuring that their subsidiaries in third countries comply with sanctions against Russia. The EU also included 61 companies in sanctions for Russia, China, the UAE, and Turkey due to the export of dual-use technologies.
