Deep Vetting for Dark Fleet Risk

RED FLAG SANCTION PACKAGES

Maritime Sanctions Due Diligence | mitigates risk from dark fleet operations, sanctions evasion, and maritime fraud | powered by open-source intelligence.

Targeted Vessel/Charterer Vetting

Open-Source Investigation (OSINT) to identity ties with sanctioned entities.

What it is: A deep dive into the background of one high-risk or suspicious vessel, focusing on its connections to sanctioned entities. Provides insight into sanctions busting, past falsified documentation, flagging/re-flagging, suspicious STS Transfers, or known past fraudulent activity.

How it works:
Crew Flow Analysis: Tracking crew rotations to identify links between the vessel and known dark fleet assets.
Managerial Association (SDN/SSI Screening): Cross-referencing the vessel’s management or ownership with known sanctioned entities.
AIS Behavior & Data Analysis: Reviewing AIS patterns to flag port calls to sanctioned jurisdictions, spoofing or unusual disabling behaviors.

Deliverable: A concise risk dossier for a fast go/no go, assessing the risk of involuntary involvement with a sanctioned network. Format: PDF report (2-5 pages).

Concrete Client Benefit:
Prevents a sanctions violation by providing evidence before signing contracts, preventing fines and asset freezes.

Fee: $1,500 – $2,500 per vessel (based on complexity)

Counterparty Network Mapping

OSINT/HUMINT investigation, mapping out sanctioned connections between companies and vessels.

What it is: A deeper investigation of a network (e.g., a charterer, vessel manager, or owner) to map its associated fleet and operational patterns across a network of vessels or companies.

How it works:
SDN/SSI Screening
Corporate Intelligence, opaque ownership, combined with AIS pattern recognition, and behavioral profiling to cluster vessels under de facto control (50% and Control Rule) and identify systemic risk.

Management Profiling
Pattern Analysis: Establishing consistent operational ties between targets and sanctioned entities.

Deliverable: A risk map and summary report identifying red flags and areas of concern within the counterparty’s operations, including a network diagram and risk profile report.

Concrete Client Benefit: Allows a client to blacklist an entire high-risk network, proactively de-risking their supply chain, vessels, or reputation.

Fee: $5,000 – $8,000 per project (based on complexity). 15-20 page PDF report with visual timelines and data evidence.
