On 18 July 2025, the EU adopted the 18th sanctions package against Russia. These measures can be found in Regulation (EU) 2025/1476 amending Regulation (EU) 833/2014 and Regulation (EU) 2025/1476 amending Regulation (EU) 269/2014. The EU Commission has issued a press release regarding these new measures and FAQs.

New vessel and asset freeze listings 105 vessels have been banned from accessing EU ports or receiving maritime or other services for being part of the Russian “shadow fleet” (Article 3s of EU Regulation 833/2014). The EU has removed three LNG (liquified natural gas) tankers operated by Mitsui O.S.K. Lines from this list after receiving assurances that they will not transport gas from the Russian Yamal and Arctic 2 projects. 14 individuals and 41 entities have been designated to the E.U. sanctions list (and therefore subject to an asset freeze), including those associated with Coral Energy/2Rivers Group (which is already subject to U.K. asset freeze restrictions), and Nayara Energy Limited (an Indian refinery in which Rosneft has a major shareholding).

A well-kept vessel is sure to make a good first impression with PSC inspectors and other ISM auditors. Make a Good Catch by keeping the engine room clean and well-lit so that fire and safety hazards are reduced.

In this context, the Managers are pleased to present the latest instalment of the Club’s Good Catch initiative:
