Vessel risk assessment and monitoring
Track live vessel positions, voyage history, and port state control records to assess risk before binding cover and monitor insured fleets during the policy period. Catch red flags like flag-of-convenience registrations, detention history, or high-risk routing before losses occur.
MV Atlantic Spirit: Marshall Islands flag, Bureau Veritas class, currently at anchor off Singapore. Last PSC inspection: Rotterdam November 2024 — 2 deficiencies (no detention). Previous detention in Piraeus, March 2023. Currently routing toward Colombo.
Marine incident and claims research
Research maritime casualties, total losses, groundings, and piracy incidents across trade lanes relevant to your book. Build loss histories for fleet accounts and identify systemic exposure patterns across vessel classes.
Found 8 incidents: 3 groundings, 2 engine failures requiring salvage, 1 contact with underwater obstruction. Causes skew toward navigational errors at night in heavy traffic. Average cargo value at risk: $24M.
Weather and natural catastrophe monitoring
Monitor real-time weather conditions along active voyage routes and in key loading/discharge ports. Assess storm and cyclone exposure for vessels on risk to trigger early claims triage and reduce response time after catastrophic weather events.
Tropical Depression 04B is strengthening 480nm east of Chennai, forecast to reach cyclone intensity within 48 hours. Wave heights on the eastern transit lane will reach 5–7m by Thursday. Recommend advising all three vessels.
Cargo and trade lane intelligence
Research commodity price trends, port congestion, and sanctions compliance to underwrite cargo policies accurately. Verify declared cargo values against live commodity prices and understand port risk profiles before quoting.
LME copper spot: $9,420/tonne. At 1,910 tonnes declared, fair value is $18.0M — consistent with declaration. No material over-valuation detected. Rotterdam is a low-risk discharge port.
Prospecting new marine accounts
Find shipping companies, importers, and logistics firms that may be underinsured or looking to move their marine program. Target by fleet size, trade lane, or commodity type to build a pipeline of qualified prospects.
Found 31 matches. 12 are mid-market forwarders with EU trade focus and likely insufficient limits based on their declared turnover. Filtered list includes directors, LinkedIn profiles, and registered addresses.
Regulatory and sanctions compliance checks
Screen vessel owners, operators, and cargo counterparties against sanctions lists and PEP databases before binding cover. Flag beneficial ownership structures linked to sanctioned entities to stay compliant with OFAC, EU, and UK sanctions regimes.
No direct sanctions match for Volkov Maritime Holdings Ltd. However, one director, Dmitri Volkov, appears on the EU consolidated list under Council Regulation 269/2014. Recommend referral to compliance before binding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the vessel tracker show PSC detention history?
Vessel Tracker returns AIS position data, voyage history, and vessel registration details. For PSC inspection records, use Deep Research to compile port state control databases and maritime authority records alongside the vessel tracking data.
How current is the vessel position data?
AIS position data is near real-time for vessels broadcasting Class A transponders (all commercial vessels over 300 GT are required to). Vessels in remote ocean areas without satellite AIS coverage may have position gaps.
Can I use the sanctions screening tool for OFAC compliance?
Compliance Screening checks entities against OFAC SDN, EU consolidated, and UK financial sanctions lists. It is a research and due diligence aid — consult your compliance team and legal counsel for binding underwriting decisions on sanctioned-entity exposure.
Can I validate declared cargo values against live market prices?
Finance Data provides live and historical commodity prices including LME metals, CME futures, and agricultural commodities. Cross-reference declared invoice values against current spot prices to flag material over- or under-valuation.
How do I research casualty history for a vessel not appearing in public databases?
Use Deep Research to compile reports from maritime authority databases, IMO GISIS, Lloyd's List Intelligence, and news sources. Older incidents and vessels with flag changes may require cross-referencing IMO numbers across multiple sources.
