Ship added to EU sanction list
The European Union has adopted its newest sanctions package on Dec 16, 2024, at the Foreign Affairs Council meeting, adding 52 new vessels, among them the 'San Severus', to the sanctions list that have been deemed by the EU to be supporting Russia’s war machine. The vessels that have been sanctioned are primarily involved in circumventing the oil price cap mechanism implemented by the West, in arms deliveries, and in the transportation of stolen grain. This latest package has brought the total number of vessels sanctioned by the EU to 79. The majority of the vessels are involved in the transport of Russian oil and in transporting arms for the Russian military. The sanctions package also targets a total of 54 individuals and 30 entities that are deemed to be bolstering Russia’s war effort. Among them, there are also entities and individuals in China and North Korea who have been deemed to be supplying Russia with dual-use materials to support Russia’s military efforts. Two senior North Korean officials and seven Chinese individuals and companies have been targeted in the latest sanctions. The purpose of the sanctions has been defined to increase the operational costs for Russia by banning them from ports in the EU and hindering them from receiving maritime services.
Sanctioned Syrian bulk carrier underway with stolen Ukrainian grain
The Russian operation of selling stolen Ukrainian grain is continuing. This time the 'Finikia' had taken on a load of grain in Sevastopol and headed towards Syria. The Turkish authorities were requested prevent the vessel from crossing the Bospjorus or calling on Turkish seaports. The vessel owned by Syriamar, the state-owned shipping agency of Syria. The company itself was blacklisted by the US government in 2015 for its connections to the Syrian dictator Bashar al Assad. Despite the sanctions, the company and its vessels have continued their operations. The 'Finikia' has transited the Bosphorus twice in the past two months, turning off its AIS each time. Its signal has reappeared on return to the Turkish VTS zone, where it is mandatory to have a working AIS transmission. This is indicative of the crew of the 'Finika' turning off their AIS transponders to conceal their activities. As of May 24, the ship was moored off Iskenderun. Ukrainian intelligence believes that the stolen grain is laundered through Syria for sale in neighboring countries.
