We’re excited to share a powerful update for MarineTraffic Risk & Compliance users: real-time notification alerts for vessel sanctions changes—so you can act fast and reduce exposure.

What’s new

Now you can receive alerts for:

  • Changes in a vessel’s sanction status

  • Changes in the sanctioned ownership status of a vessel

If you’re already tracking vessels of interest, you’re all set—you’ll be automatically alerted whenever those vessels experience a sanctions or sanctioned-ownership status update.

How do I use these?

In order to begin using Risk & Compliance play the video below or check the detailed steps.

Step - by - step

Begin by opening the Notifications tab

Once you open the notifications tab, you will notice a new section called Risk & Compliance. Click there to open the Risk & Compliance risk panel. From the panel you will notice an option to create a new notification, shown below.

Once you click on the + icon , you will be met with a menu that enables you to select any vessel that you may want to track, and tag it for notifications.

Using this panel you can:

  • Title your notifications

  • Determine which channels you want to receive your notifications through (web, email)

  • Select your vessels to track by name, IMO, MMSI

  • Determine which events you want to track specifically

Once you select your criteria you will be now receive Risk & Compliance notifications for your selected vessels.

Alternatively, you can view a vessel and create a notification from there. In order to do this, first select a vessel and then click the 'hamburger' menu icon highlighted in the image below.


Once you click there the ship panel will change to show more information and "Create Notification" will be shown as a button in blue, like in the image below.

From here you will be taken to your Account page , where you can also set notifications.

Stay tuned for more additions to Risk & Compliance notifications.
