Vessels on Sanctions Lists Seen at Nueva Palmira

None of the 15 vessels our AIS feed observed within 25 nm of Nueva Palmira 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 — South Atlantic

Between 29 Apr 2026 and 5 Aug 2026, ArcNautical's AIS feed observed 15 distinct vessels at Nueva Palmira, with Cargo making up 69% of those with a ship-type code — higher than the South Atlantic regional average of 42%. Nueva Palmira in Uruguay 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.

Port State Control Context

Vessel-level detention probability for calls at Nueva Palmira is computed by ArcNautical's scoring engine using flag performance, vessel age, deficiency history, and ownership opacity rather than a regional aggregate.
