Port of Vladivostok

🇷🇺 Russia

Pacific Ocean · Multi-Purpose Port

🟠 Sanctions program OFAC RUSSIA · EU RUSSIA · UK RUSSIA

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.

Regional Risk Context — Pacific Ocean

Voyages from Vladivostok in Russia cross the world's largest ocean basin, where route optimisation and weather routing have significant financial implications — a single transpacific crossing can consume hundreds of tonnes of fuel, and a one-knot speed variation over a 12-day voyage materially affects both cost and schedule. The western Pacific generates more tropical cyclones than any other basin (≈26 named storms annually), with typhoon season June–November producing winds above 150 knots and waves exceeding 15 metres. North Korea sanctions enforcement is a significant compliance concern: UN Security Council resolutions prohibit ship-to-ship transfers to DPRK vessels, and dark-activity (AIS disablement) is a common evasion signal in the East China Sea and Yellow Sea.

Sea Distances

Routed sea distances from Vladivostok to the principal global hubs, computed by ArcNautical's routing engine — around land and through the canals a ship actually uses, not great-circle.

Port State Control Context

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

Vessel Mix

No port calls were observed at Vladivostok between 29 Apr 2026 and 5 Aug 2026. This reflects the reach of the terrestrial AIS network behind this page — coverage is densest in Northwest Europe and thins elsewhere — and is not a statement about traffic at Vladivostok. The feed has delivered no positions since 5 Aug 2026, so these figures will not change until it resumes.
