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 'Zaliv Amerika', 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.
Search for missing sailor suspended
An emergency response group from the Nakhodka port in the Primorsky Region has ended a search operation for the lost sailor on Nov 6, but the vessel's owner, Nayada, will continue the search. The seabed under the explosion site of the 'Zaliv Amerika' remained unexplored due to violent, powerful winds and two-meter-high waves. A group of divers searched the area with the use of a deep submergence vehicle. Almost 9,000 square meters of the water area, 1.5 kilometres of coastline, and 22,500 square meters under the water were examined. :
