What’s changed
We’ve improved the logic behind the Vessel Risk Indicator to provide a clearer and more consistent view of vessel compliance risk.
The indicator now reflects a vessel’s full historical risk profile, rather than focusing only on recent activity. We’ve also refined the logic so that only screening-relevant risk events influence the indicator.
Why this matters
Risk and compliance teams rely on the Vessel Risk Indicator to help prioritise vessels for review and investigation.
These improvements are designed to:
Reduce noise from less relevant risk signals
Provide more stable and interpretable risk categorisation
Support clearer prioritisation of vessels that may warrant closer compliance review
What you might notice
As a result of these updates, you may notice that:
Some vessels move between risk categories
Risk signals appear more stable over time
Risk levels are more consistently aligned with material compliance risk
The Vessel Risk Indicator continues to categorise vessels across four levels: Sanctioned, High, Medium, and Low, with clearer, documented definitions.
What the Vessel Risk Indicator looks like
Do I need to do anything?
No action is required.
These improvements are already live and apply automatically when screening and monitoring vessels.
