Pairwise: US and UK 292 · US and EU 269 · UK and EU 573. A hull listed by only one authority is still trading legally in the other two jurisdictions, which is the practical point of these numbers. See divergence between allies.

How far apart allies act

Where a hull is listed by both	Median gap	Hulls compared
UK first, then EU	1 days	573
US (OFAC) first, then UK	192 days	292
US (OFAC) first, then EU	131 days	269

Computed over hulls listed by both authorities, using each authority's own stated listing date. A positive median means the second authority followed later on the typical hull; both directions are shown because different hulls move in different orders.

Vessel type as printed by the listing authority; the labels are theirs, not standardised across authorities.

These figures count what the lists say, not what floats. A hull can be listed by one authority and unlisted by another, listed twice under different programs, or removed after scrapping. Read the methodology before quoting any number here.
