The Minister for Foreign Affairs (the Minister) has by legislative instrument designated 60 vessels as sanctioned vessels for Russia ('listed') in accordance with regulation 8 of the Autonomous Sanctions Regulations 2011 (the Regulations).

Designation of vessels

Regulation 8

1. For paragraph 10(1)(b) of the Act, the Minister may, by legislative instrument:
   1. designate a vessel as a sanctioned vessel for a country mentioned in the designation; or
   2. designate each vessel in a class of vessels as a sanctioned vessel for a country mentioned in the designation.
2. vessel is not required to be owned, registered or flagged by the country mentioned in the designation.
3. A sanctioned vessel does not cease to be a sanctioned vessel solely because:
   1. its name is changed; or
   2. the flag under which it is operated changes; or
   3. its registration is changed.

Effect of designations

The effect of designation under the Regulations is that the Minister may direct a sanctioned vessel to:

1. leave Australia, including by a particular route; or
2. not enter a particular port or place, or any port or place, in Australia.

Application for revocation of a listing

A person or entity who owns a sanctioned vessel, or a person who controls a sanctioned vessel, or their authorised representative, may apply in writing to the Minister at any time to have the listing revoked. The application must set out the circumstances relied upon to justify the application.
