The Gibraltar authorities have banned Russian ships from calling at the port, or receiving any services including bunkering.
More specifically, Gibraltar will not provide access to Gibraltar Port, or any services, supplies or facilities provided by or from Gibraltar Port, to any ship that is:
- Owned, controlled, chartered or operated by any person connected with Russia;
- Owned, controlled, chartered or operated by Designated Persons;
- Flying the Russian flag;
- Registered in Russia;
- Carrying any load or cargo which is in the ownership of or destined to be delivered to any persons connected with Russia or Designated Persons.
This is further demonstration that Gibraltar stands with Ukraine and is totally against the miscalculated invasion of their homeland
stated Vijay Daryanani, Gibraltar’s port minister.
In a similar move, UK Transport Secretary Grant Shapps, said in a letter to all UK ports that Russian vessels would not be allowed to enter any UK ports and any vessel thought to be owned, controlled, chartered, or operated by any person connected with Russia should be barred.
