Authorities in Singapore were planning to arrest the 'Sevastopol' under U.S. sanctions for violating economic sanctions imposed on North Korea. The U.S. Treasury targeted Russia’s Gudzon shipping company in 2018 with sanctions on six of its vessels, including the 'Sevastopol'. South Korea briefly held the 'Sevastopol' in 2018 and China later refused to repair Gudzon’s other container ship. Singapore sent papers saying it’s arresting the ship over parking debts to Gudzo. Singapore plans to confiscate the 'Sevastopol' through court and sell it at a public auction. The trial was set for Dec. 17, 2019. The debts were estimated at $950,000. The 'Sevastopol' experienced a failure of the auxiliary engine when it docked in Singapore in February.Russia’s Embassy in Singapore said the Sevastopol was seized because of a commercial dispute and not sanctions. The 12 crew members had enough provisions but were not allowed to leave the vessel. Singapore hoped the court will hand it the vessel, then American sanctions against could be lifted and it could be sold.
