None of the 25 vessels our AIS feed observed within 25 nm of Beirut 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.
Listed area
Beirut is inside a Joint War Committee listed area (circular JWLA-035, 16 September 2026):
A call here normally needs prior notice to war underwriters and may carry an additional premium; how the listing applies is agreed contract by contract.

Between 29 Apr 2026 and 5 Aug 2026, ArcNautical's AIS feed observed 25 distinct vessels at Beirut, with Cargo making up 67% of those with a ship-type code — higher than the Mediterranean Sea regional average of 44%. Beirut in Lebanon operates in a semi-enclosed basin that carries approximately 20% of global seaborne trade. The Suez Canal is the single most critical chokepoint for Mediterranean-bound shipping, and disruptions there — from groundings, Houthi-driven diversions, or political shocks — force vessels onto the Cape of Good Hope routing, adding 10–14 days and substantial fuel cost. Libya's ongoing instability creates an active maritime security concern in the central Mediterranean, with oil terminals periodically subject to militia control. PSC under the Paris MOU is among the most rigorous globally; vessels with deficiencies face detention rates well above the global average at Mediterranean ports.

Beirut 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.
