None of the 56 vessels our AIS feed observed within 25 nm of Lisbon 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 56 distinct vessels at Lisbon, with Cargo making up 52% of those with a ship-type code — in line with the North Atlantic regional average of 49%. Lisbon in Portugal 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.

Lisbon 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.
