🔥The UK has enacted emergency legislation banning Russian ships🚢 from UK ports.
UK ports are being urged to refuse access to Russian-flagged, -registered, -owned or -controlled ships to help efforts to get Russia to pull its forces out of Ukraine.
🔥The government will assist ports in implementing these new laws, however, the commercial information ports receive first-hand about vessels and cargo allegedly makes them best placed to assess each individual case.
🔥A loophole in the regulations has allowed some Russian cargoes aboard non-Russian-owned vessels to freely enter UK ports to keep produces and fuels moving which created new disputes on how to ensure implementation of this law.
The success of this law will truly depend on the government and ports’ cooperation. Otherwise, legal claims from the shippers when a port refuses a vessel with legitimate cargo that hasn’t been sanctioned are inevitable.
