The US has sanctioned two more vessels along with two related shipping companies in its latest effort to block Russian liquefied natural gas exports from the Arctic.
The Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control on Thursday added vessels Mulan and New Energy to its sanctioned list, following seven vessels first placed under sanctions in late August. India-based companies Gotik Shipping Co. and Plio Energy Cargo Shipping Opc were also sanctioned, according to the Treasury Department’s statement Thursday.
