GL-T

Summary

General License T authorizes transactions otherwise prohibited by Executive Order 13902 that are ordinarily incident and necessary to limited safety, environmental, and cargo-offloading activities involving certain blocked vessels and blocked persons listed in the Annex, as well as entities in which those blocked persons hold a 50 percent or greater interest. Covered activities include safe docking and anchoring, preservation of crew health and safety, emergency repairs, environmental mitigation, and delivery and offloading of non-Iranian-origin cargo loaded on or before January 23, 2026. The authorization also covers ancillary services such as vessel management, crewing, bunkering, piloting, registration, flagging, insurance, classification, and salvage. The license does not permit entry into new commercial contracts with blocked persons or any other transactions prohibited by E.O. 13902 or other applicable sanctions regulations.

Cargo offloading is limited to non-Iranian-origin cargo loaded on or before January 23, 2026, and must not occur at ports in Iran, the Russian Federation, or Venezuela, or under the control of those governments. Safe docking and anchoring is likewise excluded from ports in those same jurisdictions.
