Sanctioned Vessels, a field guide to the shadow fleet
A searchable database of sanctioned ships, organized by IMO number and paired with the listing authority, date, stated reason, and linked sources.
Field notes
The site organizes vessel records around IMO numbers rather than relying only on changing ship names, then presents the history of each hull across multiple sanctions lists. Its navigation indicates additional views for screening a list, tracking changes, comparing disagreements, following timelines, and viewing statistics. The homepage says records include dates, listing reasons, and linked primary sources, while the extracted evidence does not show a sample record or establish how frequently the data is updated.
