Japan's first sanctions on ships, 35 of them, took effect on 2 Oct. Not one of them was new. All 35 were already on the US, EU, Canadian and Swiss lists, every one since December 2024 or earlier.

Japan's list gives each ship an IMO number and no name. Take IMO 9271585. Four lists call her KRISHNA 1 and the UK calls her PRUDENCE. On air she's KOMANDER, on a Russian number, and VesselFinder files her that way too. We last heard her off Karpathos on 4 Oct. hullcipher.com/vessel/9271585

Maritime Executive counted 13 of the 35 as registered in Oman: maritime-executive.com/article/japan-launches-first-vessel-sanctions-in-support-of-ukraine We hear 13 on Omani numbers no list publishes. Did any Japanese insurer or shipyard still serve one of the 35, or does the ban change nothing?
