Russian and Belarusian business excluded from IoM's registries

Government says it's going 'above and beyond'

All Russian and Belarusian business will be excluded from the Isle of Man's air and ship registries.

The Manx Government says it will continue to play its part in international efforts to put pressure on the Russian economy.

It's already removed a number of aircraft and yachts that have links with individuals or organisations that have appeared on global sanctions lists.

Enterprise Minister Dr Alex Allinson said: "The air and ship registries have been acting proactively and rapidly to halt business with Russian connections above and beyond those already sanctioned on the UK's lists.

"The Council of Ministers is meeting regularly to assess the situation in Ukraine and to ensure that we are doing everything in our power to put additional pressure on Russia in this unprecedented situation.

"We will continue to talk to local industry about their exposure to Russian business and any impacts this may have on our Island."
