The United Kingdom has included 27 tankers in a new package of sanctions against Russia, the country's Office for Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI) reported.

Consensus

• Britain imposed new sanctions on 27 Russian tankers
• The sanctions were announced by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on June 16
• Three LNG carriers are included in the sanctions: 'Mercury', 'Luch', and 'Kosmos'
• The sanctions target financial networks used to circumvent sanctions

Points of divergence

• The sanctions include restrictions on 'Luch' and 'Kosmos' such as prohibiting chartering, entering British ports, receiving technical assistance, financial services, and crew services, and potentially canceling their registration in the British Ship Register — kommersant
• The sanctions make direct or indirect payment related to 'Luch' and 'Kosmos' illegal in Britain — kommersant
• Britain will be the first to impose sanctions against several LNG carriers transporting sanctioned Russian LNG — vesti
