Uncertainty surrounds the fate of a Russian-chartered tanker which is currently docked at Belfast harbour.
The Eduard Toll is registered in the Bahamas, but is currently chartered by the Yamal Liquified Natural Gas project in Russia.

The UK Government this week said it would ban all ships with a Russian connection following the invasion of Ukraine.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps wrote on Twitter: “At London’s Foreign Office where we’ve just become the first nation to pass a law involving a total BAN of ALL ships with ANY Russian connection whatsoever from entering British ports.
