EU/UK-Russia and US-Iran: sanctions shipping must-watch

Published
25 August 2026

Sanctions are moving fast, and for shipping the risks are becoming harder to navigate. In this webinar, we take a timely look at the latest EU and UK sanctions against Russia and the renewed US focus on Iran — what is changing, where the pressure points are, and why it matters for anyone involved in maritime trade.

We were pleased to be joined by Alexander Brandt, Partner at Reed Smith, who helped unpack the key developments and practical implications. The webinar was hosted by BIMCO COO & Director of Business Development Michael Lund.

For a deeper understanding of sanctions, join our Sanctions in Shipping Training course on 2 and 3 September. Each of the two days offers 90 minutes of live online training and the course also features Alexander Brandt.
