Plain-English Summary

This bill would impose sanctions on ships and shipping companies that help Russia evade existing international sanctions, particularly those involved in transporting oil and other goods. The legislation targets the "shadow fleet" of vessels that operate outside normal regulatory oversight to circumvent restrictions on Russian trade. The sanctions would apply to foreign companies and individuals who knowingly support these operations, aiming to tighten enforcement of penalties against Russia.
