Vessels on Sanctions Lists Seen at Batumi

None of the 18 vessels our AIS feed observed within 25 nm of Batumi between 29 Apr 2026 and 5 Aug 2026 broadcast an IMO number on the OFAC, EU, UK or UN sanctions list today. The feed saw only part of the traffic, so this does not mean no listed vessel called here. The feed has delivered no positions since 5 Aug 2026, so these figures will not change until it resumes.

Joint War Committee listing

Not listed

Batumi is not inside any Joint War Committee listed area (circular JWLA-035, 16 September 2026).

Georgia's own territorial waters are excluded from the listed Black Sea, but the Black Sea beyond them is listed: a passage that leaves Georgia's territorial waters enters listed waters.

Regional Risk Context — Black Sea

Between 29 Apr 2026 and 5 Aug 2026, ArcNautical's AIS feed observed 18 distinct vessels at Batumi, with Cargo making up 78% of those with a ship-type code — in line with the Black Sea regional average of 80%. Batumi in Georgia sits in the most volatile maritime environment in the world. Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the Black Sea has been a theatre of active naval conflict — mine strikes, missile attacks on port infrastructure, and interference with commercial shipping are a daily operational reality. The Joint War Committee has designated extensive portions of the basin as a listed area, and war risk premiums have escalated dramatically. Russia's Black Sea Fleet has attacked Ukrainian port infrastructure and commercial grain vessels with cruise missiles and drones; the UN-brokered Black Sea Grain Initiative collapse left operators without a formal de-confliction mechanism. Access through the Bosphorus and Dardanelles is controlled by Turkey under the Montreux Convention.

Port State Control Context

Vessel-level detention probability for calls at Batumi is computed by ArcNautical's scoring engine using flag performance, vessel age, deficiency history, and ownership opacity rather than a regional aggregate.
