Shadow fleet and sanctions: what screening can and cannot see

<span id=Shadow fleet and sanctions: what screening can and cannot see" loading="eager">

The so-called shadow fleet has made sanctions evasion a daily concern for compliance and trade-finance teams. This analysis explains how deceptive shipping works, what today list screening against the United States, European Union and United Kingdom lists can see, and what remains outside current screening.

Verihelm screens vessels and entities against those lists and records each completed check for due-diligence review. Deeper shadow-fleet and deceptive-shipping intelligence is on our roadmap, not a capability today.
