Lloyd’s List Intelligence launches integrated maritime compliance solution to combat evolving sanctions evasion tactics

Lloyd’s List Intelligence (LLI), the trusted global provider of maritime data and analytics, today announced the launch of its ‘Ownership Intelligence & Cargo Risk’ solutions within the Seasearcher maritime intelligence platform. This integrated suite goes beyond standard vessel screening to provide unparalleled visibility into complex ownership structures and maritime trade flows.

The launch comes at a pivotal time, as regulators worldwide intensify scrutiny of maritime trade. The April 2025 OFAC guidance, which specifically targets Iranian petroleum shipping chains, underscores the urgent need for enhanced due diligence and transparency across global shipping networks.

Seasearcher Ownership Intelligence & Cargo Risk solutions were built with today’s complex regulatory landscape in mind, and focus on empowering organisations to navigate today’s increasingly complex compliance environment with confidence and precision.

 “In today’s complex maritime compliance landscape, standard vessel screening alone is no longer sufficient,” said Nicky Marlin, Chief Product Officer at Lloyd’s List Intelligence. “Our new solutions represent a step-change in risk visibility by answering two fundamental questions that regulators increasingly demand: who’s truly benefiting and what’s really being transported. By combining deep ownership intelligence and cargo tracking in one platform, we’re eliminating dangerous blind spots and setting a new standard for maritime compliance.” 

This breakthrough represents months of intensive development, combining massive volumes of complex, unstructured data with cutting-edge technology and human expertise. LLI’s proprietary SeaTech™ methodology and COACT data quality framework power this sophisticated staged process—from collating and aggregating data to enhancing intelligence—ensuring hidden risks are surfaced with confidence while freeing thousands of analyst hours.

Seasearcher Ownership Intelligence & Cargo Risk supports critical use cases across maritime industries, including pre-transaction screening, customer onboarding, ongoing monitoring, claims and legal support, and enhanced escalation workflows.

 Organisations using the integrated solution can ensure compliance with evolving regulations, reduce risk exposure, improve decision-making with verifiable data, streamline due diligence processes, and protect their reputation by avoiding inadvertent involvement in sanctions violations.
