EU transport policymakers call for tougher sanctions against Russian shipping

MEPs on the EU Parliament’s Transport Committee (TRAN) voted by a large majority on Thursday to adopt a resolution in plenary. In it, the parliamentarians call on the EU to further tighten sanctions against the Russian maritime sector. Ships that have docked in Russia on their way should be denied entry to EU ports. In addition, all ships that want to dock in EU ports should be banned from refueling in Russian ports, the resolution says.
