THE HAUGE, 13 April 2022, (TON): Dutch customs authorities said “they had impounded a total of 20 yachts at shipyards in the Netherlands targeted by sanctions against Russia and Belarus over the Ukraine conflict.”
Customs authorities said in a statement “following the sanctions against Russia and Belarus, customs placed 20 yachts in nine shipyards and traders under increased surveillance.”
“Because these 20 yachts are under increased surveillance, they are not authorized to be delivered, transferred or exported.”
Fourteen of the luxury ships are under construction, two are in storage and four are in maintenance. The length of the vessels ranges from 8.5 to 120 meters (30 to 400 feet).
The statement said “for two of these yachts, it has been established that they are linked to a person on the EU sanctions list.”
Dutch customs authorities said “they had detained 14 yachts built for Russian beneficiaries.”
