Sanctions advisories for the maritime industry
Practical challenges and recommendations for financial institutions regarding the monitoring of AIS outages and suspicious vessel activity.
OFAC's advisory on 'Guidance to Address Illicit Shipping and Sanctions Evasion Practices' of 2020 outlined a number of recommendations for financial institutions to manage risk in relation to shipping. The guidance relating to 'dark' activity and ship-to-ship transfers have been challenging to implement within existing trade finance compliance screening programmes.
ACSS(opens in a new tab), IIBLP(opens in a new tab) and IHS Markit interviewed a number of banks and others to look at the actions taken by financial institutions in response to the OFAC advisory notice and offer a series of practical recommendations to best manage the new world of shipping risk.
