September 2020 / Nord Stream 2 and Turkstream - Update on the New US Sanctions
Sayın İlgili,
Uluslararası Grup Kluplerinden American Club’ün yayınlamış olduğu aşağıdaki sirkülere göre Rusya’ya yönelik ABD ambargolarının genişletildiği ve Nord Stream 2 (Rusya’dan Almanya’ya) ve Turkstream (Rusya’dan Türkiye’ye) doğal gaz boru hatlarına yönelik başlatıldığı bildirmektedir. Buna göre buralarda hizmet veren gemi, deniz araçlarının ambargoyu ihlal etmesi halinde Klup teminatlarına halel geleceğine dikkat çekilmektedir. Sanction Clause içeren tüm poliçe sahiplerinin bu hususu dikkate alması önemle rica olunur.
Ambargoya tabi hizmetler aşağıda özetlenmiş olmaktadır.
“In addition to the targeting of pipe-laying vessels, both bills expand PEESA to include vessels engaged in "pipe-laying activities." Such activities are defined as those which facilitate pipe-laying such as "site preparation, trenching, surveying, placing rocks, stringing, bending, welding, coating, lowering of pipe, and backfilling." Both bills also target those who sell, lease or provide such vessels or facilitate the sale, lease or provision of same, albeit the language in the two bills is slightly different on this aspect.”
Tüm Uluslararası Grup Klüplerinin benzer sirküler yayınladığı ya da yayınlayacağı duyurulmuştur.
Dear Sirs,
The American Club, an International Group Club, issued the following circular in respect of extended US sanctions against Russia to include Nord Stream 2 (Russia to Germany) and Turkstream (Russia to Turkey/Bulgaria) natural gas pipe lines. It draws attention to the fact that vessels, sea vehicles providing pipe laying and pipe laying related activities would be subject to US sanctions and this would prejudice the Club covers. Policy holders in whose policies Sanction Clause is included should consider these implications seriously.
Services subject to sanctions have been summarised as follows.
“In addition to the targeting of pipe-laying vessels, both bills expand PEESA to include vessels engaged in "pipe-laying activities." Such activities are defined as those which facilitate pipe-laying such as "site preparation, trenching, surveying, placing rocks, stringing, bending, welding, coating, lowering of pipe, and backfilling." Both bills also target those who sell, lease or provide such vessels or facilitate the sale, lease or provision of same, albeit the language in the two bills is slightly different on this aspect.”
All International Clubs issued or will issue similar circulars.
