RUSI’s CFS Launches Maritime Sanctions Taskforce

The Centre for Finance and Security (CFS) at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) launched the Maritime Sanctions Taskforce.

 

➡️ The announcement comes as Russia attempts to circumvent imposed sanctions through the development of a shadow fleet.

➡️ The taskforce brings together the UK Government, academics, and private sector experts to assess the current maritime sanctions regime against Russia.

➡️ The task force aims to bolster the impact of maritime sanctions to ensure they achieve their intended objectives.

✅ Sanctions officers should review their maritime sanctions controls to ensure they are robust and aligned with the latest relevant lists, in accordance with the firm’s policy.
