🇳🇴 Norway has seized the Russian expedition vessel Professor Molchanov in Barentsburg, Svalbard, after a Nord-Troms District Court order sought by Ukraine’s Naftogaz.
The Governor of Svalbard said the ship must remain in Barentsburg until the Governor or court decides otherwise. Authorities said they would arrange care for passengers and crew with Trust Arcticugol.
📰 The action is part of Naftogaz’s attempt to enforce a $4.22 billion arbitration award over energy assets Russia seized in Crimea after its 2014 annexation. ⚖️
A Hague-based tribunal issued the award in 2023. Because Russia has not paid, Naftogaz has sought domestic court orders in countries where Russian assets may be available for enforcement.
The seizure restrains the vessel’s departure; it does not by itself determine a final recovery or transfer of the ship. Russia condemned the action, while Naftogaz said it would continue pursuing assets internationally.
