Four Russian companies, including Metallkomplekt, Nikom, Promsiz, and Technolux, were sanctioned for allegedly supplying goods or technology that could contribute to destabilising Ukraine or threatening its territorial integrity.
The list also includes Russian national Aleksander Zhdanov, owner of chemical company Siltron. He faces an asset freeze, travel ban, trust-services restrictions, and director disqualification.
Six vessels were placed under shipping and trade sanctions: the Arctic Express, Perseas, Torvian, Asteras, Visund, and Zenturo.
The UK said the Russian-flagged Arctic Express had transported liquefied natural gas originating in Russia to a third country. The other five vessels were accused of carrying Russian-origin oil or petroleum products to third countries.
The ships are prohibited from entering UK ports and may be detained or directed to move. Providing them with technical, crewing, operating, chartering, brokering, or financial services is also prohibited.
Under the asset-freeze measures, funds and economic resources belonging to designated persons must be frozen and cannot be made available to them without an exemption or licence.
