What this authority is
The US Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control administers US sanctions programs. Vessels appear on the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List either as blocked property of a designated owner or as designated entities in their own right, usually under Executive Order 14024 (Russia), E.O. 13902/13846 (Iran), E.O. 13850 (Venezuela) or the North Korea programs.
How to read its list
An SDN vessel entry prints the name, call sign, type, flag, tonnage, "Vessel Registration Identification IMO nnnnnnn", the program tag in square brackets (e.g. [RUSSIA-EO14024]) and "(Linked To: …)" for the owner. Designation dates come from OFAC's Recent Actions notices and the press release of the day; the SDN file itself carries the date only in the advanced XML.
What a listing prohibits
Asset freeze: US persons may not deal with the vessel, and non-US persons face secondary-sanctions exposure under several programs.
