A Russian cargo ship coming from Saint Petersburg has been detained by German customs since 4 March on suspicion of violating European sanctions against Russia. After weeks of checks, the ship was allowed to leave the port of Rostock in mid-April. The 193 metre long "Atlantic Navigator II" is managed by a Canadian shipping company and sails under the flag of the Marshall Islands. The ship was carrying 251 containers of birch wood for the USA. Although timber is subject to EU sanctions, it is not subject to US sanctions, according to the public prosecutor's office. It was also carrying enriched uranium for US customers, which is also subject to US and EU sanctions.
