The sanctioned fleet in numbers

Everything on this page is computed from the listings in this database. Counts change with each nightly refresh; the figures below are as of 2026-10-21.

Pairwise: US and UK 301 · US and EU 299 · UK and EU 623. 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.

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.

Listing velocity

Distinct hulls listed per month across all authorities, last 24 months with data. A hull listed by two authorities in the same month counts once per authority.

Top flags among listed vessels

Current flag as printed by the listing authority.

Top jurisdictions of the companies named

Vessels connected to at least one company that the listing authority placed in this jurisdiction.

Age of the sanctioned fleet

Year of build, where an authority states it. Age matters because insurance, class and casualty risk track it.

What kind of ships

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

Delistings by year

Dated removal events recorded here. Removals are only counted from the day this site began tracking, so earlier years are incomplete.

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.
