Lloyd’s List Intelligence (LLI) has launched its new Ownership Intelligence and Cargo Risk systems within the Seasearcher platform, combining vessel ownership transparency with cargo tracking to support maritime compliance and sanctions risk management.
The new systems provide visibility into ownership structures and trade flows, beyond traditional vessel screening. By automatically applying Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI), Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), and EU 50% ownership rules, the platform helps identify sanctioned entities and hidden beneficiaries across global shipping networks.
“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.”
Using LLI’s SeaTech methodology and COACT data quality framework, the platform combines large volumes of structured and unstructured data with human analysis to detect deceptive shipping practices such as AIS manipulation and high-risk ship-to-ship transfers. It also delivers detailed screening of oil, chemical, LNG, and LPG cargoes.
The integrated system supports applications including pre-transaction screening, onboarding, ongoing monitoring, claims handling, and compliance investigations.
