I built FleetLeaks to track and visualize maritime sanctions data from US, EU, UK, and other jurisdictions.

Key Stats:
– 792+ sanctioned vessels tracked
– 6 sanctioning jurisdictions (US OFAC, EU, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand)
– Real-time updates from official sanction lists
– Historical timeline showing designation dates and changes

Data Sources:
– Official government sanction lists (OFAC, EU, UK OFSI)
– IMO vessel registries
– Maritime news intelligence
– Historical sanction records

Tools Used:
– Python for data scraping and processing
– WordPress/MySQL for database
– Automated daily pipeline for updates
– Custom timeline visualization

Interactive explorer: https://fleetleaks.com/changelog/

The shadow fleet is constantly evolving – vessels change flags, names, and owners to evade sanctions. This platform tracks those changes over time.

  2. it’d be hilarious if this is actually used by some person in a government agency somewhere in the world. You’d hope they’d have better intel but imagine if they didn’t
