In addition to the company itself, Washington’s restrictions were also subject to 14 tankers carrying crude oil, RIA Novosti notes.
The Ministry of Finance also published a general license according to which, until April 8, the United States allows financial transactions with Sovcomflot vessels if the cargo was delivered to them before February 23.
Previously, the US Department of Commerce imposed sanctions against 93 companies, including 63 from Russia. Washington accuses them of helping the Russian army and the military-industrial complex.
In addition, the operator of the Russian national payment system Mir was subject to sanctions. However, the company has already stated that the restrictions will not affect the operation of the national payment card system services within the country.
