Vessels on Sanctions Lists Seen at Batam

1 of the 13 vessels our AIS feed observed within 25 nm of Batam 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.

Regional Risk Context — Southeast Asia

Between 29 Apr 2026 and 5 Aug 2026, ArcNautical's AIS feed observed 13 distinct vessels at Batam, with Cargo making up 67% of those with a ship-type code — higher than the Southeast Asia regional average of 50%. Voyages from Batam in Indonesia navigate the world's busiest shipping lanes, anchored by the Strait of Malacca — a 550-mile corridor through which roughly 100,000 vessels transit annually. The Malacca and Singapore Straits remain a persistent piracy hotspot, with ReCAAP recording dozens of incidents per year; most are low-level opportunistic theft at anchor, but the geographic concentration demands attention in any voyage risk model. Waters off eastern Sabah and the Sulu Sea present a more severe kidnap-for-ransom threat. PSC inspection regimes vary substantially across ASEAN members, and the Tokyo MOU detention data identifies which flags and vessel types face elevated scrutiny in the region.

Port State Control Context

Batam falls under the Tokyo MoU. The Tokyo Memorandum of Understanding (Asia-Pacific) maintains the most active publicly-available regional PSC programme. Across the last 24 months, the Tokyo MoU detention dataset records 5,577 distinct vessel detentions (sourced from OpenSanctions, as of 2026-10-04). Vessel-level detention probability is computed by ArcNautical using flag performance, vessel age, deficiency history, and ownership opacity.
