Norway has joined the European Union in sanctioning two Russian fishing companies accused of aiding Moscow’s intelligence operations in maritime areas.
The measures target Norebo JSC and Murman Seafood, which Norway’s Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide said are linked to state-sponsored activities threatening Norwegian and allied security.
“Such activity may facilitate future sabotage operations,” Eide warned in a statement on Monday, calling it a growing trend of Russian hybrid campaigns against Western nations.
The sanctions include asset freezes and a ban on the companies’ vessels entering Norwegian ports or territorial waters. Norway will also block fishing licences for their ships in its economic zone.
The listings will soon be written into Norwegian law as Oslo reaffirms its close cooperation with the EU and its allies in safeguarding critical infrastructure.
The move comes after the EU adopted similar sanctions on 20 May, targeting individuals and entities tied to espionage and sabotage.
