None of the 20 vessels our AIS feed observed within 25 nm of Taichung 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.

Between 29 Apr 2026 and 5 Aug 2026, ArcNautical's AIS feed observed 20 distinct vessels at Taichung, with Cargo making up 35% of those with a ship-type code — lower than the South China Sea regional average of 66%. Taichung in Taiwan sits along the most heavily contested waters on Earth. More than one-third of global shipping — roughly $3.4 trillion in annual trade — passes through the South China Sea, with overlapping territorial claims from China, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, and Taiwan. China's artificial-island construction in the Spratly and Paracel archipelagos has expanded the operational reach of its coast guard and maritime militia, both of which have been documented harassing commercial vessels near disputed features. Piracy and armed robbery persist in the southern reaches, particularly between Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Typhoon season (June–November) adds significant schedule and fuel uncertainty for voyages routed through the region.
Routed sea distances from Taichung 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 20 distinct vessels at Taichung between 29 Apr 2026 and 5 Aug 2026; 20 carry a confirmed AIS ship-type code. The most common categories:

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