⚓ Sanctioned Vessels

Bulk screening

Paste a list of IMO numbers — one per line, comma-separated, or a column straight out of a spreadsheet — and see which of them appear on the sanctions lists held here, and which authority listed each one.

Up to 500 at a time. Vessel names are not screened — an IMO number is the only identifier that survives a rename or a reflag.

A result of “no record” means the IMO number does not appear on the lists this site holds, which are the ones named on sources. It is not a compliance clearance: this site is not a screening tool of record, holds no UN or Japanese designations, and cannot see an entity listed under a name with no IMO number attached. Check the primary source before acting.

What is checked

Every IMO number is matched against the same records behind each vessel page: designations by the United States (OFAC), the United Kingdom, the European Union, Switzerland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and the vessels catalogued by Ukraine's War & Sanctions portal. Ukraine's catalogue is shown separately because it is a government listing of vessels of concern, not a legal designation, and treating it as one would overstate what has happened to a ship.

Delistings are shown, not hidden. A hull that OFAC removed but the EU still lists appears in both columns, because that divergence is usually the thing worth knowing.
