The introduction of new sanctions against the courts of the Russian company “Comflot” creates additional operational difficulties, systemic work on minimizing the negative impact of sanctions on the company’s activities continues. This is stated in the press service of the Russian shipping company, in which US sanctions were commented on in relation to the Sukflot group of companies.
The company recalled that on January 10, 2025, the US Department of Finance announced the introduction of new large -scale sanctions restrictions on the group of companies “Socomplot” and its own fleet.
“The sanctions pressure on the” Sovcomflot “consistently increases over the past three years, starting since 2022.” Comflot “has always observed and continues to comply with all international and national laws applicable to it. The company’s courts do not belong to the” shadow fleet “, – follows from the message.
The company noted that the “sanctions against“ Sovcomflot ”are not determined by violations by the company and have no legal grounds,” but “motivated exclusively by the political interests of individual countries, including the United States.”
“Such sanctions policy is increasingly destroying the global system of marine commercial shipping, which has developed and worked for decades. It is regretted that political interests are posed above the universal principles of navigation safety. The initiators of sanctions intentionally and purposefully increase the risks of the environment and health for the environment People are not only sailors, but also residents of the coastal regions of the world.
“Sovcomflot” continues systemic work on minimizing the negative impact of sanctions on its activities. At the same time, the company, as before, will invariably adhere to high standards of safety and quality of marine operations, observe all applicable laws and requirements, ”the company added.
