| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] The United States has added 17 sea vessels and a shipping company from the United Arab Emirates to the anti-Russian sanctions list. The US Treasury announced this on January 18. It is noted that 17 sea vessels that sailed under the flags of Liberia and transported Russian oil were subject to restrictive measures. Also on the list is Abu Dhabi-registered shipping company Hennesea Holdings Limited. As Regnum reported, on December 20, the United States imposed sanctions against the oil product tanker Sanar 15, which flies the Russian flag. In addition, the restrictions included the companies Covart Energy Limited and Bellatrix Energy Limited, registered in Hong Kong (China), as well as two companies from the UAE - Voliton DMCC and Sun Ship Management D. Igor Yushkov, an expert at the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, told a Regnum correspondent that the result of US anti-Russian sanctions was a split in the world tanker fleet. According to him, those who set the price ceiling for Russian oil believed that the world fleet would remain the same and Russia would have to sell oil for $60 or less. But in practice, it turned out that a separate group of tankers has emerged from the world fleet, which work only with sanctioned oil (Russian, Iranian, Venezuelan). And they transport Russian oil under any conditions and earn good money. |
