Sanctions Screening

The concept of shipping cargo from A to B is simple but the underlying maritime industry is fragmented. Spanning jurisdictions and ownership can range from blue chip public companies to masked individual ownership.

Vessels can operate as individual floating entities, under a flag of convenience that differs to the one of its ownership, technical, or commercial managers. In addition to this there can be long chains of commercial chartering where it is not always clear which companies/individuals are involved and who the beneficiaries of the freight or hire payments are.

‍With the constantly evolving geopolitical landscape - Vessel Sanctions Screening is the first line of defence.
