The Republic of Marshall Islands has issued Marine Safety Advisory in order to inform that under Republic of the Marshall Islands law, Marshall Islands registered vessels are not currently prohibited from calling in any country.
However, because the Marshall Islands registered fleet is provided technical and administrative assistance by International Registries, Inc. and its global network of subsidiaries, the Marshall Islands MaritimeAdministrator adheres to trade restrictions outside of those in place in theMarshall Islands.
Importantly, the national and international sanctions in place against IRAN, SYRIA, CUBA, NORTH KOREA, and the CRIMEA region of UKRAINE mean that, except as indicated below, no new business, i.e. vessel registration, corporate formation, seafarer documentation, etc., will be undertaken with any individuals or entities resident in these nations or regions. However, the Administrator may issue seafarer documentation to the CRIMEA region of UKRAINE.
Additionally, although it is not a violation of law for Marshall Islands flagged vessels to call in these nations, the ability of the Administrator to provide services to vessels in these nations or regions, or en route to these nations or regions, may be limited or completely unavailable.
