The United States of America imposed sanctions on three tankers carrying Russian oil and companies from the UAE and Liberia on December 1.

This was reported in the US Treasury.

In particular, HS ATLANTICA LIMITED from Liberia, STERLING SHIPPING INCORPORATED and STREYMOY SHIPPING LIMITED from the United Arab Emirates came under restrictions.

Also under sanctions were:

• tanker HS ATLANTICA under the flag of Liberia;
