1 of the 8 vessels our AIS feed observed within 25 nm of Ain Sokhna between 29 Apr 2026 and 5 Aug 2026 broadcasts an IMO number that is on the OFAC, EU, UK or UN sanctions list today. The feed has delivered no positions since 5 Aug 2026, so these figures will not change until it resumes.

The IMO is the one the ship broadcasts over AIS, a listing may postdate the sighting, and a sighting includes anchorages and canal or strait queues, so it is not proof of a port call. Open a vessel for its full screening record.
Not listed
Ain Sokhna is not inside any Joint War Committee listed area (circular JWLA-035, 16 September 2026).
The Red Sea south of 25.5°N, outside Egyptian territorial waters, is listed: a passage south toward Bab el-Mandeb enters listed waters.

Voyages to or from Ain Sokhna in Egypt face the highest sustained kinetic threat of any commercial corridor. Since late 2023, Houthi forces in Yemen have attacked vessels in the southern Red Sea and Bab-el-Mandeb strait using anti-ship ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, naval mines, and unmanned surface vehicles. Major container lines have diverted around the Cape of Good Hope at significant cost. The Joint War Committee listed area covers the entire southern Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, and war risk premiums for transit have surged. Some underwriters now impose Houthi-related exclusion clauses. The corridor also passes through waters adjacent to Eritrea, Sudan, and Somalia — each with distinct port-state instability and sanctions exposure.
Routed sea distances from Ain Sokhna to the principal global hubs, computed by ArcNautical's routing engine — around land and through the canals a ship actually uses, not great-circle.
Ain Sokhna falls under the Mediterranean MoU. The Mediterranean Memorandum of Understanding does not publish a public bulk detention feed. Member states (Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Tunisia) operate under harmonised PSC protocols. Vessel-level detention probability is computed by ArcNautical using flag-state performance and on-board condition signals.
Limited port-call data — fewer than 10 distinct vessels observed at Ain Sokhna between 29 Apr 2026 and 5 Aug 2026. ArcNautical does not publish a vessel-type breakdown for low-traffic ports to avoid statistically misleading percentages. The feed has delivered no positions since 5 Aug 2026, so these figures will not change until it resumes.
