International efforts to identify vessels transporting Russian-origin oil

It shall be the policy of the United States— (1) to fully promote the recommendations made by Resolution A.1192(33) of the International Maritime Organization, adopted on December 6, 2023; (2) to use the voice and vote of the United States in international organizations and engage other relevant multilateral bodies, such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the European Union, to strongly encourage the governments of all countries to adopt those recommendations, including the recommendation that a port state, when the state becomes aware of a vessel intentionally taking measures to avoid detection, such as switching off its Automatic Identification System or long-range identification and tracking system transmissions or concealing its actual identity, should, following an initial investigation to verify that the vessel has not stopped transmitting signals for legitimate reasons— (A) subject the vessel to enhanced inspections as authorized through relevant mechanisms of the port state; and (B) notify the flag administration of the vessel, as appropriate; and (3) to encourage governments of all countries to deny access to ports and services for any vessel that, following an initial investigation, is found to have turned off its transponder or entered false information for the purpose of conducting a transfer of or transaction for crude oil of Russian Federation origin or refined petroleum products made from such oil in violation of the crude oil price cap.
