Vessels on Sanctions Lists Seen at Rostock

None of the 84 vessels our AIS feed observed within 25 nm of Rostock 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 — Baltic Sea

Between 29 Apr 2026 and 5 Aug 2026, ArcNautical's AIS feed observed 84 distinct vessels at Rostock, with Cargo making up 49% of those with a ship-type code — in line with the Baltic Sea regional average of 46%. Rostock in Germany operates in a semi-enclosed shallow basin with seasonal ice and the strictest environmental regime in commercial shipping. December–April ice coverage requires vessels to meet Finnish-Swedish Ice Class for independent navigation or rely on icebreaker escort, and ice-edge position varies enough between years that conventional deterministic routing models fail. Since 2022, Russia's invasion of Ukraine has transformed the security architecture: NATO maritime presence has increased substantially, and sanctions against Russian energy exports have disrupted traditional traffic patterns. The Baltic is also a designated Particularly Sensitive Sea Area (PSSA) and Sulphur Emission Control Area (SECA), requiring low-sulphur fuel or exhaust gas cleaning systems.

Port State Control Context

Rostock 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.
