Vessels on Sanctions Lists Seen at Casablanca

None of the 35 vessels our AIS feed observed within 25 nm of Casablanca 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.

Regional Risk Context — North Atlantic

Between 29 Apr 2026 and 5 Aug 2026, ArcNautical's AIS feed observed 35 distinct vessels at Casablanca, with Cargo making up 82% of those with a ship-type code — higher than the North Atlantic regional average of 49%. Casablanca in Morocco sits along the backbone of transatlantic trade between Europe and the Americas. The North Atlantic is generally lower-risk than active piracy or conflict zones, but its weather is among the most powerful on Earth. The winter storm season (November–March) produces sustained gale-force winds, significant wave heights above 10 metres, and reduced visibility. The Great Circle route between Northern Europe and the US East Coast passes through peak storm activity, and the choice between a shorter rougher track and a longer calmer deviation has material financial implications. EU and US sanctions enforcement adds compliance overhead — both maintain extensive regimes that require thorough vessel and ownership-chain vetting.

Port State Control Context

Casablanca 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.
