From Opaque to Observable: Measuring Maritime Sanctions Risk at Scale

Description:

Maritime sanctions enforcement increasingly depends on the ability to assess risk beyond simple yes or no screening outcomes. Vessel behaviour, ownership opacity, flag changes, and trading patterns all play a critical role in understanding exposure across global supply chains.

In this webinar, Pole Star Global will introduce the Maritime Transparency Index (MTI), a data-driven framework designed to quantify and benchmark maritime sanctions risk across vessels, fleets, and trading activity.

Whether you are just starting your career, considering a move into export controls, or looking to sharpen your expertise, this conversation will give you the practical takeaways, real-world perspectives, and professional inspiration you need to move forward with confidence.

What the webinar aims to cover:

We will explore how transparency indices can support sanctions specialists, compliance teams, and investigators by:

•  Moving beyond binary screening towards measurable risk indicators
• Identifying patterns of evasive or high-risk maritime behaviour
• Supporting prioritisation, escalation, and investigative workflows
• Enhancing consistency and defensibility in sanctions-related decisions

This session is designed for sanctions, compliance, and risk professionals seeking practical approaches to managing maritime exposure in an increasingly complex enforcement environment.
