# New Jersey Warns Ports Against Russian Diesel

New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill urged port and terminal operators not to accept Russian diesel shipments, arguing that a U.S. Department of the Treasury license conflicts with the 2022 federal import ban. The report identifies no solicitation or contract award, but the dispute could affect fuel sourcing, handling, and compliance considerations for contractors and logistics providers serving New Jersey ports.

- Port operators and contractors should assess whether their fuel sourcing and handling activities are affected by the Treasury license and the 2022 import ban.
- Businesses serving New Jersey ports should track the license’s legal status and evaluate potential operational or compliance impacts if it changes.
- No procurement opportunity, contract value, or proposal deadline is identified in the report.
