EU Extends Sanctions Against Russia's "shadow Fleet"

The list includes dozens of other vessels.

The European Council has imposed sanctions on 41 vessels that are part of Russia's "shadow fleet" of oil tankers.

reports the EU magazine.

It is noted that these 41 vessels are henceforth subject to a ban on access to ports and a ban on a wide range of services related to maritime transportation.

"This measure is aimed at tankers that are not part of the EU and are part of Russia's 'shadow fleet', circumventing the oil price cap mechanism, as well as at ships responsible for transporting military equipment, stolen Ukrainian grain and cultural property from Ukraine," the EU said.

After today's package of sanctions, the total number of designated "shadow fleet" vessels subject to economic restrictions has risen to nearly 600.

"The EU remains ready to step up pressure on Russia and its shadow fleet value chain, in particular by imposing further sanctions," the European Council added.

Reminder, on December 15, the European Council imposed new sanctions against nine individuals and organizations that contribute to the functioning of Russia's so-called shadow fleet.
