01 · Findings

Flag groups among additions

11
General Cargo vessels
The dominant vessel type in the new cohort, followed by Container Ship.
02 · Context
How this interval compares
The latest interval added 20 vessels over 3 days. The largest earlier expansion across these 6 retained snapshots added 20 over 16 days (2026-07-01 to 2026-07-17). Snapshot intervals are irregular, so this is context for the observed series, not a complete history of OFAC actions.

05 · Full list
The wider designated fleet
As of 2026-07-20, OFAC's SDN data contains 1,517 vessel records. 1,510 (99.5%) include an IMO number.
Largest recorded flag groups
Share of all OFAC vessel records.
Largest sanctions programs
Programs overlap, so shares do not sum to 100%.
06 · Method
Reproducible, with a narrow scope
How the index is built
ArcNautical parses the official US Treasury OFAC SDN CSV, selects records typed as vessels, and compares stable OFAC record identifiers between publication dates. Every headline count is recomputed from the downloadable records; no estimate or manually entered total is used.
All 6 normalized source snapshots are publicly listed with SHA-256 hashes. The manifest records publication dates, retrieval timestamps where available, record counts, and direct snapshot downloads.
