None of the 65 vessels our AIS feed observed within 25 nm of Tanjung Pelepas 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 65 distinct vessels at Tanjung Pelepas, with Cargo making up 39% of those with a ship-type code — lower than the Southeast Asia regional average of 50%. Voyages from Tanjung Pelepas in Malaysia navigate the world's busiest shipping lanes, anchored by the Strait of Malacca — a 550-mile corridor through which roughly 100,000 vessels transit annually. The Malacca and Singapore Straits remain a persistent piracy hotspot, with ReCAAP recording dozens of incidents per year; most are low-level opportunistic theft at anchor, but the geographic concentration demands attention in any voyage risk model. Waters off eastern Sabah and the Sulu Sea present a more severe kidnap-for-ransom threat. PSC inspection regimes vary substantially across ASEAN members, and the Tokyo MOU detention data identifies which flags and vessel types face elevated scrutiny in the region.

Tanjung Pelepas falls under the Tokyo MoU. The Tokyo Memorandum of Understanding (Asia-Pacific) maintains the most active publicly-available regional PSC programme. Across the last 24 months, the Tokyo MoU detention dataset records 5,577 distinct vessel detentions (sourced from OpenSanctions, as of 2026-10-04). Vessel-level detention probability is computed by ArcNautical using flag performance, vessel age, deficiency history, and ownership opacity.
