Recent Port Calls (AIS)
No AIS port-call data captured for BLACK MAYA in the last 180 days. Sanctioned vessels frequently transmit AIS irregularly or disable transponders entirely — this absence is itself a vetting signal documented in the OFAC, EU, and IMO sanctions evasion advisories.
Flag State Risk Analysis: Honduras
BLACK MAYA is flagged to Honduras, a flag state that does not appear in the Paris MOU or Tokyo MOU annual performance lists. Flags outside these registries may have limited port state control inspection data, which can complicate risk assessment for chartering, insurance, and compliance purposes. ArcNautical evaluates vessel risk using multiple signals beyond flag state, including sanctions screening across OFAC, EU, and UN databases, ownership transparency via GLEIF corporate chain analysis, and historical PSC detention records where available.
When evaluating vessels flagged to registries with limited performance data, underwriters and compliance officers should consider additional due diligence measures including verification of classification society membership, review of recent port state control inspection outcomes, and assessment of the vessel's ownership structure for indicators of sanctions evasion risk.
