Frequently asked questions
What is an IMO number?
The IMO number is a vessel's permanent international identifier, issued under the IMO ship identification number scheme. It never changes hands or flag, unlike a vessel's name or registration, which is why compliance checks key on it. Star 18 is IMO 9020015.
What does it mean that Star 18 is on the OFAC SDN list?
It means the vessel is designated under a sanctions program (DPRK4): dealings involving it are restricted or prohibited for parties subject to those sanctions, and banks, insurers and counterparties screen for exactly this. The listing program and date above come straight from the source list.
How do I check whether another vessel is sanctioned?
Search its name or IMO number on the Fylings vessels index, or use the sanctions screening tool for a fuzzy name match across vessels, companies, aircraft and people on the same lists.
