This was reported by RIA Novosti with reference to the US Treasury.

It is noted that earlier the ship was included in the list of sanctions under the Law on Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions (CAATSA).

Now "Fortuna" will be under sanctions and under the US law "On the protection of European energy security."

In January, the US Treasury announced the imposition of sanctions against Fortuna, as well as the company that owns it, KBT-Rus.

Director of the Energy Development Fund Sergei Pikin, in a commentary on RT, praised the introduction by the United States of sanctions against the ship Fortuna, which is involved in the construction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.
