Recital 17

(17) In order to introduce transparency into the sale of tankers, in particular second-hand carriers, that could be used to evade the import ban on Russian crude oil or petroleum products and the price cap agreed by the Price Cap Coalition, Decision (CFSP) 2023/2874 provides for a notification obligation for the sale of tankers to any third country and a derogation from the prohibition on the sale of tankers to Russian persons and entities, or for use in Russia. This obligation applies to the owner of a tanker who is a national of a Member State, to a natural person residing in a Member State, and to a legal person, entity or body which is established in the Union. The owner, or anyone acting on his or her behalf, should notify the competent authorities of any such sale concluded since 5 December 2022 and provide all the necessary details.
