Intelligence
Composite Risk
Strong, corroborated adverse evidence — a detention, sanctions exposure or an AIS-gap / behavioural signal.
A coverage-weighted blend of the 4 components we could read for this hull — the weights renormalise over only the components present, so a thin read is never inflated and a hull is never credited a “safe 0” for a signal it has no row for. Higher means riskier. Derived in-house from government-open port-State-control, flag, sanctions and our own vessel data; weight it by the coverage above.
This vessel is directly sanctioned.
Screened against official OFAC, EU, UN and UK designations (In-house derivation over the OpenSanctions publishable subset, GLEIF LEI (CC0) and our own vessel/owner master. No new external source fetched.). An automated exposure signal for review, not a legal determination.
Estimated
Other · summer draught 5.7 m · 16.5 t per cm immersion
Estimate only — modelled from deadweight (deadweight regression) using a first-principles hydrostatic model, not measured hydrostatic tables. The design draught it is anchored to is unreliable across the fleet.
Transparency
Behavioural flags raised against this vessel — each shown with the raw evidence behind it. Derived in-house from data we are entitled to publish; informational, not a determination of wrongdoing.
Stopped transmitting relative to the live feed front
Method: vessel is on a sanctions list but has never appeared on our live AIS feed. Source: ais_positions (absence) + sanctioned_vessels.
Signals are a current-state view: a flag clears once the vessel stops tripping its detector. These are screening indicators, not a substitute for your own due diligence.
