Sanctions bans and restrictions on maritime transportation of cargo with participation of Russia

this article is devoted to the analysis of sanctions restrictions imposed on international maritime transportation with an emphasis on their impact on the Russian shipping sector. The key aspects of international law governing maritime logistics are considered and the main types of sanctions applied to Russia are described in detail, specifically from the point of view of international maritime cargo transportation, including port entry bans, restrictions on ship insurance, blocking of participation in tenders and asset freezes. The impact of sanctions on global logistics in particular on supply chains and rising cost, is also being investigated. Special attention is being paid to Russia's retaliatory measures, such as the closure of ports for foreign vessels, increased port fees, the development of domestic transport infrastructure and the promotion of domestic shipping. The article presents an assessment of the adaptation measures of Russian shipowners including reorientation to eastern markets, creation of their own insurance system, use of transit ports and flag change of ships. The proposed strategies and a review of legislative acts form a comprehensive picture of the current situation in the industry, reflecting both the challenges and opportunities for Russian maritime transport in the face of increased sanctions pressure.
