1 of the 13 vessels our AIS feed observed within 25 nm of Manaus between 29 Apr 2026 and 5 Aug 2026 broadcasts an IMO number that is on the OFAC, EU, UK or UN sanctions list today. The feed has delivered no positions since 5 Aug 2026, so these figures will not change until it resumes.

The IMO is the one the ship broadcasts over AIS, a listing may postdate the sighting, and a sighting includes anchorages and canal or strait queues, so it is not proof of a port call. Open a vessel for its full screening record.

Between 29 Apr 2026 and 5 Aug 2026, ArcNautical's AIS feed observed 13 distinct vessels at Manaus, with Cargo making up 46% of those with a ship-type code — in line with the South Atlantic regional average of 42%. Manaus in Brazil connects the major commodity exporters of West Africa and South America with global markets, carrying crude oil, iron ore, soybeans, coal, and containerised goods. The Gulf of Guinea has surpassed the Gulf of Aden as the world's most active piracy zone, accounting for the majority of global incidents and the vast majority of crew kidnappings. Unlike Somali piracy's hijacking-for-ransom model, Gulf of Guinea attacks typically aim at kidnap-for-ransom, cargo theft, and oil theft from tankers. The diversion of container traffic around the Cape of Good Hope due to Red Sea security threats has increased congestion at South Atlantic bunkering ports and along the South African coast.
Routed sea distances from Manaus 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 13 distinct vessels at Manaus between 29 Apr 2026 and 5 Aug 2026; 13 carry a confirmed AIS ship-type code. The most common categories:

Brazil is a multi-MoU jurisdiction (its port states participate in more than one regional PSC programme). Vessel-level detention probability for calls at Manaus is computed by ArcNautical's scoring engine using flag performance, vessel age, deficiency history, and ownership opacity rather than a regional aggregate.
