Syria Sanctions

The European Union’s Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) was extended to cover emissions from shipping as of 1st January 2024.

The EU ETS is limited by a 'cap' on the number of emission allowances. Within the cap, companies receive or buy emission allowances, which they can trade as needed. The cap decreases every year, ensuring that total emissions fall.

Each allowance gives the holder the right to emit:

  • One tonne of carbon dioxide (CO2), or;
  • The equivalent amount of other powerful greenhouse gases, nitrous oxide (N2O) and perfluorocarbons (PFCs).
  • The price of one ton of CO2 allowance under the EU ETS has fluctuated between EUR 60 and almost EUR 100 in the past two years. The total cost of emissions will vary based on the cost of the allowance at the time of purchase, the vessel’s emissions profile and the total volume of voyages performed within the EU ETS area. The below is for illustration purposes:
  • ~A 30.000 GT passenger ship has total emissions of 20.000 tonnes in a reporting year, of which 9.000 are within the EU, 7.000 at berth within the EU and 4.000 are between the EU and an outside port. The average price of the allowance is EUR 75 per tonne. The total cost would be as follows:
  • ~~9.000 * EUR 75 = EUR 675.000
  • ~~7.000 * EUR 75 = EUR 525.000
  • ~~4.000 * EUR 75 * 50% = EUR 150.000
  • ~~Total = EUR 1.350.000 (of which 40% is payable in 2024)
  • For 2024, a 60% rebate is admitted to the vessels involved. However, this is reduced to 30% in 2025, before payment is due for 100% with effect from 2026.
  • Emissions reporting is done for each individual ship, where the ship submits their data to a verifier (such as a class society) which in turns allows the shipowner to issue a verified company emissions report. This report is then submitted to the administering authority, and it is this data that informs what emission allowances need to be surrendered to the authority.
  • The sanctions for non- compliance are severe, and in the case of a ship that has failed to comply with the monitoring and reporting obligations for two or more consecutive reporting periods, and where other enforcement measures have failed to ensure compliance, the competent authority of an EEA port of entry may issue an expulsion order. Where such a ship flies the flag of an EEA country and enters or is found in one of its ports, the country concerned will, after giving the opportunity to the company concerned to submit its observations, detain the ship until the company fulfils its monitoring and reporting obligations.
  • Per the EU’s Implementing Regulation, it is the Shipowner who remains ultimately responsible for complying with the EU ETS system.

There are a number of great resources on the regulatory and practical aspects of the system – none better than the EU’s own:

Dear Sirs,

Enclosed please kindly find a circular by North of England P&I Club.  All Group Clubs have issued similar circular.

Also we have provided this circular in Turkish underneath this message.

Sayin Yetkili,

Malum oldugu uzere Avrupa Birligi ve Amerika Birlesik Devletleri, Suriye makamlarina Mayis 2011 senesinden bu yana yaptirimlar uygulamaktadir.

Avrupa Birligi’nin 36/2012 nolu karari ve 168/2012 ilave ve yine 509/2012 nolu ilaveleriyle deniz tasimaciligi ve deniz sigortaciligi hususlarinda yasakli hususlar asagidadir;

-          Listede yer alan luks tuketim malzemeleri, cift kullanim maksatli malzemelerin, kimyasal malzemelerin, yag ve petrol urunlerinin satisi, temin edilmesi, transferi ve ihrac edilmesi yasaklanmistir. Yine bu hizmetler icin direk veya dolayli finasman, sigorta ve rasurans servislerinin saglanmasi yasaktir,

-          Suriye menseili ham petrol veya petrol urunlerinin tasinmasi yasaktir,

-          Suriye’de gaz, petrol tesislerinde kullanilmak uzere veya yeni elektrik santralleri kurulmasi icin gereken ana malzemelerin temini ve teknoloji transferi vs yasaklanmistir;

-          Suriye Devleti icin sigorta ve reasurans hizmetlerinin temin edilmesi yasaklanmistir.

-           Herturlu silah ve techizatin satis, temini, transferi, ihraci yasaklanmisitr.

-          Yasakli kurum, kuruluş ve mutesbbislere herhangi bir ekonomik kaynak ve / veya malzeme saglanmasi halinde bunu temin eden kisi ve kuruluslarda sivillere yapılan baski ve saldirilardan sorumlu tutulacaklardir.

İlave olarak AB 12 Aralik 2014 tarihinde 1323/2014 sayili kararinda, son derece kisitli istisnalar haricinde Suriye’de kullanimlarina karsin jet yakiti, yakit katki maddelerinin satisi, temini, transferi veya ihracatinin yapilmasini ve yine bu hizmetler icin sigorta ve reasurans hizmetlerinin temin edilmesini yasaklamistir.

Amerika Birlesik Devletleri 13582 nolu karariyla asagidaki hususlari Suriye ve Suriye uyruklularinin ve mutesebbisler nezdinde yapilmasini yasaklamaya devam etmektedir. Bu yasaklar;

-          Suriye’de yeni yatirim yapilmasi

-          Suriye’ye direk veya dolayli olarak ihracat, tekrardan ihrac etme, satis vs hizmetlerinin verilmesi

-          Suriye menseili petrol ve petrol urunlerini elleclemek ve ithale etmek,

ABD’nin yasaklari, ABD sinirlari disinda ve ABD vatandasi olmayanlar icin hazirlanmamis olmakla beraber 13582 nolu kararlarinda, ABD kisitlamalarini ihlal edici maddi yardim, sponsorluk, finansman destegi verilmesi, teknolojik destegin verilmesi halinde bunu ihlal eden kisilerin varliklarininda bloke edilmesi soz konusudur. Dolayisiyla maddi yardim kesin olarak tanimlanmamis olup beher hadisede yaplan islerin bu ihlal kapsamina dahil olup olmadigi belirlenecektir.

Gelismeler

2015 senesinde OFAC listesinde yer alan asagidaki isletmelerde ticaret yapma yasagi kapsamindadir;

-          General Directorate of Syrian Ports

-          Lattakia Port General Company

-          Tartous Port General Company

-          Syrian General Authority for Maritime Transport

-          Syrian General Shipping Agencies Company (“Shipco”)

-          Syrian Chamber of Commerce.

İlave olarak, Banias Limanı’nda ABD mutesebbisi olamayan kurumlar ve 7 tane gemi tarafindan yapilan LPG ve mazot sevikyatinda Suriye Hukumetine yardim saglandigi tespit edilmistir. OFAC listesinde Banias Limanı Suriye Hukumetince kontrol edilen bolge olarak tanimlanmistir.

Tum bunlarin isiginda Suriye’ye LPG ve mazot tasimaciligi genelde Suriye Hukumeti’ne olmakta, dolayisiyla bu tasimacilik oncesinde bu sevkiyatin yaptirimlar kapsaminda olup olmadginin dikkatli incelenmesi gerekmektedir.

Dolayisiyla armatörlerin ve tüm üyelerin bu tarz sevikyatlarda nihai alici ve nihai kullanicinin dogru bilgilerine ulasmakta ve bunlarin yaptirim kapsaminda olmadigindan emin olmak icin gereken titizligi gostermesi onemle tavsiye edilmektedir.  

Syrian Company for Oil Transport (“SCOT”), Banias Limani’nda tahliye eden gemilere hizmet veren boru hatlarinin ana isletmecisi konumundadir. SCOT firmasi AB ve ABD yaptirimlarinda yasakli isletme olarak tanimlanmis ve bu firmaya yapilacak direk veya dolayli odemelerin yaptirimlarin ihlaline yol acacaktir.  Bu yuzden Banias Limani kullanildiginde, armatorlerin ve uyelerin SCOT firmasina genel liman hizmeti vs her ne sekilde olursa olsun direk veya dolayli odene yapmamalari tavsiye edilmektedir.

Son olarak, Suriye ibaglantili yapilacak ticaretlerde ABD Bankalari ve ABD Dolarinin kullanilamayacaginin unutulmamasi gerekmektedir.

Halihazirda AB ve ABD tarifindan uygulanan yaptirimlar sebebiyle Armatorun Suriye’ye veya Suriye’den bir baglanti yapmasi öncesi olasi ilave gorus ve tasiyeler almak icin P&I klubu ile istisare etmesi onemle tasiye edilmeketdir. Her halukarda Suriye ile ilgili yapılacak sevkiyatlarda armatörün ve üyenin yükleyicinin, alicinin ve ilgililerinin yaptirimlar haricinde oldugundan iyice emin olmak ve ilgi yaptirimlara aykiri kira sozlesmelerine karsi koruyucu tedbirleri almak uzere gereken titizligi göstermesi gerekmektedir.

Tüm Uluslararası Grup Klupleri benzer sirkuler yayınlamıştır.
