What you must do

The sanctions target vessels that attempt to undermine sanctions supporting the Russian oil and arms trade.

If you suspect that a vessel matches a vessel on the UK sanctions list and you hold or otherwise deal with funds or economic resources of that vessel –

You must freeze your assets immediately
You must review the information you hold about the ship in light of the UK
Sanctions lists to ensure you don’t get false positives
Such assets may not be dealt with or made available to or for the benefit of a designated vessel unless:

You have legal immunity
You have a license

You must report frozen assets to the Financial Intelligence Unit.

If you suspect or become aware of a sanctions violation, or if you have blocked any attempted transaction, Report your suspicions to the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU).

Failure to comply with financial and trade sanctions or attempts to circumvent them are criminal offenses.

If the relevant agencies have already reported details of accounts, other funds or economic resources frozen for a designated person, there is no need to report those details again.
