美国发布关于朝鲜逃避经济制裁而采取欺诈性航运行为的详细公告


来源:Eagle Ocean Marine @2018.03.22


On February 23, 2018, the US Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), in conjunction with the US Department of the State and US Coast Guard, issued a global advisory alerting persons to deceptive shipping practices used by North Korea to evade sanctions. Parties subject to US and/or United Nations (UN) sanctions should be aware of these practices in order to implement appropriate controls to ensure compliance with their legal requirements.

美国财政部外国资产管控办公室(OFAC)连同美国国务院以及美国海岸警卫队于2018223日联合发布全球性公告(参见附页),提醒人们注意朝鲜为逃避经济制裁而采取的欺诈航运行为。受美国和/或联合国制裁约束的相关方应对这些做法有所了解,以便采取适当管控措施,确保遵守法律要求。


The February advisory contains two annexes. The first provides an overview of US and UN sanctions relevant to the shipping industry, including a non-exhaustive list of circumstances in which persons can be sanctioned by OFAC. The second provides a list of North Korean vessels capable of engaging in ship-to-ship transfers.

二月公告包含两份附件。附件一是美国和联合国制裁中涉及航运业部分的内容概述,内含个人将受到OFAC制裁的情况的列举清单(并非所有情况都包含在内)。附件二是参与“船靠船”转运活动的朝鲜船舶名单。


Under US law governing sanctions against North Korea, a person may become a sanctions target if that person is determined by the US government to knowingly, directly or indirectly (among other things):

根据美国对朝制裁法律,如果某人被美国政府认定故意地、直接或间接实施下述行为(除其他事项外),此人将可能成为美国制裁目标:

Provide significant amounts of fuel or supplies, provide bunkering services, or facilitate a significant transaction or transactions to operate or maintain a vessel or aircraft that is designated under a North Korea-related US Executive Order (EO) or United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR), or that is owned or controlled by a person designated under a North Korea-related EO or UNSCR.

为涉及朝鲜制裁的联合国决议(UNSCR)或美国行政命令(EO)指定的受制裁船舶或飞机,或者受UNSCREO制裁个人所拥有或者控制的船舶或飞机提供大量燃料或物资、加油服务或为单笔或多笔大额交易提供便利,以助于船舶或飞机营运或维护;

Insure, register, facilitate the registration of, or maintain insurance or registration for, a vessel owned or controlled by the government of North Korea.

为朝鲜政府拥有或管控船舶提供保险、注册、协助其进行注册或继续提供保险或注册服务。

The US government is also aggressively targeting for designation any person, among others that:

美国政府也坚决将有下述行为的个人指定为制裁目标:

Facilitates a significant export to or import from North Korea; or

Engages in the transportation industry of the North Korea economy.

为朝鲜重要的进口贸易或者出口贸易提供便利;或者

参与朝鲜经济中的交通运输业。

Insureds should also bear in mind that sanctions against North Korea are not limited to those issued by the US government. United Nations sanctions are also in place against North Korea and, accordingly, Insureds outside of the US should exercise caution and increased due diligence when contemplating any transactions involving North Korea and any nei***oring ports in Russia and/or China.

被保险人也应谨记,针对朝鲜的制裁不仅仅来自于美国政府,联合国也同样对朝鲜实施制裁。因此,美国境外的被保险人在处理涉及朝鲜以及朝鲜临近的俄罗斯和/或中国港口交易时应保持谨慎并进行额外的尽职调查。


Questions and further guidance

Insureds are reminded that pursuant to Eagle Ocean Marine insuring terms and conditions, there is no cover for voyages where this would violate or pose a risk of violating sanctions prohibitions, and also that causing a violation could entail the imposition of sanctions or penalties. As outlined above, Insureds are accordingly reminded to proceed with extreme caution in dealing with or involving North Korea and to conduct additional sanctions compliance due diligence to ensure their own and Eagle Ocean Marine's compliance with sanctions prohibitions.

协会提醒被保险人注意,根据EOM协会保险条款规定,EOM协会不承保违反制裁或存在违反制裁禁令风险的航程,并且由于违反行为产生的制裁或罚款也不在协会承保范围。如上文所述,提醒各位被保险人保持格外谨慎的态度处理与朝鲜或涉及朝鲜的事务,并进行额外制裁合规调查以确保其自身以及EOM协会遵守制裁禁令。


Should any Broker or Insured need additional guidance regarding any aspect of the foregoing or other sanctions in general, or for confirmations as to the availability of cover for voyages involving countries (Iran, Syria, Cuba, North Korea, Russia, Crimea region of Ukraine, Venezuela (presently only SDNs)) or entities or individuals subject to US economic sanctions (e.g., OFAC SDN List), Eagle Ocean Marine will be pleased to respond.

如果经纪人或被保险人对于上述或其他方面的制裁内容,或关于涉及下列国家(伊朗、叙利亚、古巴、朝鲜、俄罗斯、乌克兰克里米亚地区、委内瑞拉(目前只针对SDNs))或受美国经济制裁的实体或个人(比如OFAC SDN List)有任何疑问或需要进一步的指导,请联系EOM协会。
