Vessels on Sanctions Lists Seen at Keelung (Taipei)

None of the 62 vessels our AIS feed observed within 25 nm of Keelung (Taipei) 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 — Pacific Ocean

Between 29 Apr 2026 and 5 Aug 2026, ArcNautical's AIS feed observed 62 distinct vessels at Keelung (Taipei), with Cargo making up 58% of those with a ship-type code — higher than the Pacific Ocean regional average of 52%. Voyages from Keelung (Taipei) in Taiwan cross the world's largest ocean basin, where route optimisation and weather routing have significant financial implications — a single transpacific crossing can consume hundreds of tonnes of fuel, and a one-knot speed variation over a 12-day voyage materially affects both cost and schedule. The western Pacific generates more tropical cyclones than any other basin (≈26 named storms annually), with typhoon season June–November producing winds above 150 knots and waves exceeding 15 metres. North Korea sanctions enforcement is a significant compliance concern: UN Security Council resolutions prohibit ship-to-ship transfers to DPRK vessels, and dark-activity (AIS disablement) is a common evasion signal in the East China Sea and Yellow Sea.
