It shall be prohibited to accept or provide access to ports in the territory of the Union to designated vessels, if the Sanctions Committee has so specified.

The provision by nationals of Member States or from territories of Member States of bunkering or ship supply services, or any other servicing of vessels, to designated vessels, including the provision of fuel or supplies, shall, if the Sanctions Committee has so specified, be prohibited. The competent authorities of the Member States identified in Annex IV may grant exemptions to the measure imposed by paragraph 4 where necessary for humanitarian or safety purposes, or where the vessel is returning to Libya. Any such authorisation shall be notified in writing to the Sanctions Committee and the Commission. Financial transactions with respect to crude oil aboard designated vessels, including the sale of the crude oil or the use of the crude oil as credit, as well as taking out insurance with respect to the transport of the crude oil shall, if the Sanctions Committee has so specified, be prohibited.
