What the listing means in practice

For charterers and traders, insurers, ports and banks — per authority that lists this ship. Plain-English summaries of the legal texts; the texts prevail.

Charterers, traders
Buying, selling, chartering, operating or crewing the ship, ship-to-ship transfers with it and using its services are prohibited.
Insurers
Services of any kind for the ship — including financial services, insurance, brokering and registration — and financing are prohibited.
Ports
No port clause (landlocked), but import, transit and transport of the ship through Switzerland and Swiss registration services are prohibited.
Banks, payments
Not an asset freeze in itself, but financial services linked to the ship are prohibited; assets of listed persons, including their ships, are frozen.

United States — binds: US persons (citizens, residents, US companies and their foreign branches, anyone in the US). Non-US parties face secondary-sanctions risk.

Charterers, traders
US persons may not charter, buy, sell, operate or otherwise deal in the blocked vessel without an OFAC licence; non-US parties risk secondary sanctions.
Insurers
