Vessels on Sanctions Lists Seen at Prince Rupert

None of the 28 vessels our AIS feed observed within 25 nm of Prince Rupert 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 — East Pacific

Between 29 Apr 2026 and 5 Aug 2026, ArcNautical's AIS feed observed 28 distinct vessels at Prince Rupert, with Cargo making up 43% of those with a ship-type code — higher than the East Pacific regional average of 34%. Prince Rupert in Canada sits along the western coast of the Americas, where commercial shipping operates against a backdrop of seismic, volcanic, and ENSO-driven weather hazards. The Pacific Ring of Fire generates significant seismic and volcanic activity along the entire coast; Chile and Peru experience major earthquakes with sufficient frequency that seismic risk is material for both port infrastructure and voyage planning. The Panama Canal — the key chokepoint connecting the eastern Pacific with the Caribbean and Atlantic — has faced drought-related transit restrictions that limit vessel draft and daily transit capacity, forcing some operators to route via the Strait of Magellan or Cape Horn. El Niño/La Niña cycles produce sustained shifts in storm tracks and sea states.

Port State Control Context

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