On the Russian Federation - Permission to Enter Ports

Dear Member,
With reference to the letter sent to our Chamber by TOBB, the letter forwarded to our Union by the Ministry of Trade states that, by Decree No. 502 approved by the Government of the Russian Federation (RF) on 21 July 2025, it has become mandatory for ships arriving from foreign ports to obtain permission from the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSB) for entry into RF ports, and that the entry of ships into RF sea ports will take place upon the approval of the harbour master of the sea port and if this FSB official deems it appropriate.
