All of the vessels sanctioned by the UK on Wednesday are involved in the transportation of oil or oil products originating in Russia to third countries.

These vessels are banned from accessing UK ports, as well as their captains or pilots. It is noted that the registration of tankers in the British Court Register may be suspended, and the masters and pilots of these vessels may receive an order for their detention.
