Sanctions Change Feed: OFAC, EU, UK + Sanctioned Vessels

Know the moment someone is added to, removed from or edited on the US OFAC SDN list, the EU consolidated sanctions list or the UK Sanctions List, all in one normalized feed. Includes about 2,200 sanctioned vessels with IMO number, flag, type and owner, for monitoring the shadow fleets serving Russia and Iran.

Built for compliance and KYC teams, maritime insurers, ship brokers and charterers, trade-finance desks, journalists and OSINT researchers.

What it does

• Changes mode (default): every run downloads all three official lists and compares them with the previous run. You get one row per added, removed or changed designation. Schedule it daily for a sanctions alert feed.
• Full mode: exports the current lists with filters, for example "all vessels" or "everything under Russia programs".
• One schema for three lists: name, aliases, type (individual, entity, vessel or aircraft), programs/regimes, countries, dates of birth, identifiers, listing date and remarks.
• Vessel fields: IMO number, flag, previous flags (UK), vessel type, owner/operator and call sign.
• Filters: entity type, program keyword (RUSSIA, IRAN, SDGT...) and name or IMO search.

Pricing

• $5 per 1,000 changes in changes mode. Baseline rows are free.
• $1 per 1,000 records in full-export mode.

No start fee. A daily run with no changes costs almost nothing.

Important

• Not a screening decision: this is a data feed. Always confirm matches against the official source before acting:
  • OFAC Sanctions List Service
  • EU Financial Sanctions Files
  • UK FCDO Sanctions List
• Personal data: the lists include individuals' names and dates of birth as published by governments. Use them only for compliance and lawful purposes.
