Covers vessels designated as sanctioned vessels under Australia's autonomous sanctions law in response to situations of international concern, including Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the DPRK's non-compliance with its nonproliferation obligations; vessels flagged to or registered in the DPRK are designated as a class. A sanctioned vessel may be directed to leave Australia by a designated route or barred from entering Australian ports, and a vessel that fails to comply with such a direction is forfeited to the Commonwealth.
