None of the 210 vessels our AIS feed observed within 25 nm of Brunsbuttel 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.

Between 29 Apr 2026 and 5 Aug 2026, ArcNautical's AIS feed observed 210 distinct vessels at Brunsbuttel, with Cargo making up 53% of those with a ship-type code — higher than the North Sea regional average of 40%. Brunsbuttel in Germany sits in one of the most heavily trafficked maritime zones in the world — the gateway to Rotterdam, Antwerp, Hamburg, and Bremerhaven. Traffic density in the Dover Strait alone exceeds 500 movements per day, and the Traffic Separation Schemes managed jointly by UK, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, and Scandinavia impose strict routing constraints. Collision risk, grounding in shallow waters, and encounters with offshore wind farms and oil and gas platforms are persistent concerns. PSC inspections under the Paris MOU are rigorous, and vessels with deficiencies face above-average detention rates at North Sea ports. Winter storms (October–March) regularly compress port access windows.
Routed sea distances from Brunsbuttel to the principal global hubs, computed by ArcNautical's routing engine — around land and through the canals a ship actually uses, not great-circle.
Our AIS feed observed 210 distinct vessels at Brunsbuttel between 29 Apr 2026 and 5 Aug 2026; 210 carry a confirmed AIS ship-type code. The most common categories:

Brunsbuttel falls under the Paris MoU. The Paris Memorandum of Understanding does not publish a bulk per-vessel detention CSV. ArcNautical evaluates per-vessel detention probability using flag-state performance (3-year rolling rate from the 2024 Paris MoU annual report), vessel age, deficiency history, and ownership transparency. Paris MoU PSC inspections remain among the most rigorous globally.
