🇷🇺 Russia
Baltic Sea · Container Terminal
Russia is not under a country-wide US embargo, but it is under broad list-based and sectoral sanctions: OFAC's Russia programme (E.O. 14024), the US import bans and the G7 oil price cap (E.O. 14066 and 14071), the EU's successive sanctions packages and UK measures. Hundreds of vessels in the Russian oil trade are individually designated by the US, EU or UK. Screen the vessel, its owner and its cargo; the port call alone does not tell you whether a voyage is prohibited.

1 of the 10 vessels our AIS feed observed within 25 nm of St. Petersburg 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.
| Vessel | IMO | Listed by | Seen |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9572020 listed as BALTIYSKIY ISSLEDOVATEL |
9572020 | OFAC (since 20 Aug 2021) | 22 May 2026 – 23 May 2026 |
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.
Listed area
St. Petersburg is inside a Joint War Committee listed area (circular JWLA-035, 16 September 2026):
A call here normally needs prior notice to war underwriters and may carry an additional premium; how the listing applies is agreed contract by contract.

Between 29 Apr 2026 and 5 Aug 2026, ArcNautical's AIS feed observed 10 distinct vessels at St. Petersburg, with Cargo making up 89% of those with a ship-type code — higher than the Baltic Sea regional average of 46%. St. Petersburg in Russia 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.
Routed sea distances from St. Petersburg 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 10 distinct vessels at St. Petersburg between 29 Apr 2026 and 5 Aug 2026; 9 carry a confirmed AIS ship-type code. The most common categories:
The feed has delivered no positions since 5 Aug 2026, so these figures will not change until it resumes.
Russia is a multi-MoU jurisdiction (its port states participate in more than one regional PSC programme). Vessel-level detention probability for calls at St. Petersburg is computed by ArcNautical's scoring engine using flag performance, vessel age, deficiency history, and ownership opacity rather than a regional aggregate.
