Part 1: Sanctions regulations Chapter 1: Power to make sanctions regulations Section 14: "Specified ships"
This section enables an appropriate Minister to specify a ship that will be subject to sanctions, when authorised to do so by the regulations.
	The Minister can only specify a ship where they have reasonable grounds to suspect that a ship is involved in an activity specified in the regulations, and where they consider it is appropriate for that ship to be specified, having regard to the purpose of the regime as set out in the regulations. Sanctions against individual vessels have been used against, for example, vessels known to be involved in the smuggling of Libyan oil or owned by a company implicated in breaching the arms embargo relating to North Korea.
	As is the case for designations, a consolidated list of specified ships will be maintained on gov.uk.
