美国对四家运输委内瑞拉石油的航运公司及其运输委内瑞拉石油的船舶实施制裁
各位会员可能已经了解到，美国财政部于2020年6月2日星期二宣布对涉嫌于2020年2月至4月期间四家涉及委内瑞拉石油运输的航运公司及其船舶实施制裁。
美国保赔协会曾经在之前发布的通函及客户警示对美国政府对委内瑞拉的压力升级进行警示，特别是：
• 美国对委内瑞拉制裁的进展：冻结委内瑞拉政府以及其他实体：对美国以及非美国个人/实体的影响。 协会通函2019年8月No.30/19号（后附）。

• 美国财政部对委内瑞拉采取的制裁的行动。协会2020年2月19日会员警报（后附）。
有迹象表明，美国政府将在近一段时间内加大对委内瑞拉制裁的力度。
因此，协会警示会员权衡运输委内瑞拉石油所存在的风险，尤其是考虑到美国政府对这种贸易的重视，况且，协会不承保涉及原产自、或前往委内瑞拉政府拥有或者营运的设施的货物的航次。

US SANCTIONS FOUR SHIPPING FIRMS AND THEIR VESSELS FOR TRANSPORTING VENEZUELAN OIL
As Members may already be aware, on Tuesday, June 2, the US Treasury Department announced the sanctioning of four shipping companies and their vessels as a result of lifting oil from Venezuela between February and April of this year.
This escalation of pressure by the US government on Venezuela was foreshadowed in previous American Club Circulars and Alerts, notably:
• Developments in regard to US Sanctions on Venezuela: Blocking of Venezuelan Government and Other Entities: Implications for US and Non US Persons. Club Circular No. 30/19 of August 19, 2019.
• US Department of the Treasury Action on Venezuela, Member Alert of February 19, 2020.
The indications are that further pressure will be exerted by the US government on Venezuela over the coming period.
Accordingly, Members are cautioned to weigh the risks associated with carrying Venezuelan oil especially in light of the US government's focus on that trade, not to mention that Club cover will not be in place for any voyage involving cargoes originating from, or destined for, Venezuelan government owned and operated installations.
