Synopsis
As deceptive maritime tactics evolve beyond sanctioned fleets, even “clean” vessels are now being caught in the crossfire of regulatory scrutiny. In this data-driven session, Kpler’s Risk & Compliance experts reveal how AIS spoofing, dark STS transfers, and undeclared port calls can silently expose non-sanctioned ships to operational and reputational risk.
Drawing on analysis of nearly 3,000 vessels, this webinar unpacks how deceptive behaviors act as early-warning signals of sanction exposure — and how proactive risk and compliance teams can respond before enforcement hits.
What you'll learn
- How to Detect AIS spoofing and dark operations before enforcement escalates
- How to quantify exposure using behavior-based risk indicators
- How to strengthen vetting and oversight across fleets and counterparties
