On Thursday, February 16, Maersk revealed that they are scouting for another location to berth their Singapore-flagged tanker Maersk Magellan after being denied entry to the Tarragona port. The vessel was sent back from the Spanish port as it carried Russian oil.
Since the G7 nations imposed sanctions on Russian oil and oil products in December, trading with these products has become problematic. Added to this, the EU imposed strict sanctions against importing Russian oil.
Maersk said they are taking help from external experts to deal with the situation as per the newly imposed sanctions on Russian oil. This has forced the Danish company to revisit its voyage.
