Last-Minute Escape for Russian Cargo Ship from UK Port Ban
On February 27, 2022, the Russian cargo vessel 'Sormovskiy 3068' docked at Sunderland’s port, only to depart shortly after on February 28 at 1 p.m. This timely exit occurred just hours before UK Transport Secretary Grant Shapps publicly announced a ban prohibiting Russian vessels from accessing UK ports. The ship had originally arrived to take on a shipment of limestone at East Quay. In a decisive move, Secretary Shapps sent an urgent letter to all UK ports later that afternoon, instructing them to deny entry to any vessels flying the Russian flag or linked to Russian ownership, operation, or chartering. Following its departure, the 'Sormovskiy 3068' was en route to Aggersund with an estimated time of arrival (ETA) on March 3.
