Sanctioning Israel

Turkish authorities have recently introduced new sanctions, targeting Israeli-flagged and affiliated vessels engaged in maritime transport between Turkey and Israel. However, these sanctions currently apply to all vessels, regardless of their flag or ownership. No formal regulation has been issued regarding these restrictive measures; they are based solely on instructions from the Ministry to Port Authorities.

Vessels that had already loaded cargo and commenced their voyage to Turkish ports before the implementation date of this rule will not be subject to restrictions, provided they submit the relevant documentation. However, this exception does not apply to Israeli-flagged vessels or those carrying IMDG Code Class 1 or 7 cargo, or military vehicles/materials to Israel.

Although there are some differences, it can be said that Turkey applies a similar regime to Israeli-flagged or affiliated or interest vessels as it does to vessels flying the Cypriot flag and interests.

As there is no uniform practice yet, implementation of these sanctions varies slightly from port to port, according to information received from local agents. For example, some ports request information and/or documents regarding the vessel’s owner, charterer, manager, and operator, while others allow vessels to operate with only a declaration.

DIRECT ACTION IN TURKEY
Is it possible ?

This time we bring you a subject that is probably a bit controversial and has caused some debate.

A direct action against P&I clubs is indeed a challenge to the global third party insurance system and should of course be treated with utmost care. Clubs naturally only want to be sued under the terms of the insurance contract, including the choice of law and jurisdiction they have agreed with the member (the “preferred system”). On the other hand, there are cases where a different law and jurisdiction may take precedence over the terms of the contracts and this is where things get complicated. You will see that, at least from a Turkish law perspective, there are cases where P&I clubs can protect themselves against a breach of the preferred system, but there are also cases where local (in this case Turkish) law does not give way to this system, resulting in having to apply local law and jurisdiction. As demonstrated below, sometimes it is the preferred system that wins, sometimes it is the local law and jurisdiction; this depends on the factors that will be evaluated below.
