rynda matches vessels against official sanctions sources by the IMO number of the vessel and of its companies and shows the matches on the map. It's a tool for preliminary counterparty checks — not vessel-behaviour analysis and not "dark fleet" monitoring.
What rynda actually shows
- We display data from open, official sanctions sources that we track.
- A match is determined by the vessel's IMO and by the IMO numbers of its companies — owner, manager, ISM manager and DOC holder.
- With the Sanctioned filter on, only matched vessels stay on the map, each ringed in red — a prompt to check further, not a conclusion.
How to turn it on
- Open the Ports Map.
- In the left rail, open the "Vessels" group and switch on "Sanctioned" (on a phone: More → Vessel filters).
- Only vessels matched against the sanctions sources stay on the map, each ringed in red.
Important: informational only
- The information is for reference and informational purposes, provided to make preliminary counterparty checks easier.
- You must verify the facts in the primary sources — the official sanctions lists of the relevant jurisdictions.
- rynda is not a source of sanctions decisions, gives no legal assessment, and does not track vessel behaviour or movements.
- If you spot a discrepancy or error in the highlighting, let us know and we'll review and correct it.
Treat the highlight as a reason to verify in the primary source, not as a final decision.
