FleetLeaks

FleetLeaks launched in 2025 to make international maritime sanctions data accessible and transparent. The platform aggregates sanctioned vessel data from six jurisdictions (OFAC, EU, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand) and cross-references it with live AIS tracking data.

The tool is designed for investigative journalists covering shadow fleet operations, compliance professionals conducting vessel screening, maritime researchers, and advocates supporting Ukraine by exposing sanctions evasion.

Key features include: daily automated updates from official sanctions sources, interactive global map with real-time vessel positions for 500+ vessels, multi-jurisdiction search and filtering, historical designation tracking, and export capabilities.

FleetLeaks addresses a critical gap: while sanctions lists are public, they're scattered across multiple jurisdictions and difficult to cross-reference with vessel movements. By consolidating this data with live AIS tracking, FleetLeaks helps expose flag-hopping, identify vessels going "dark," and track compliance status in real-time.

The project is entirely non-commercial - no ads, no registration required, no paywalls. Built to support transparency in sanctions enforcement and help Ukraine win by making evasion harder to hide.

Impact: Provides free access to data that previously required expensive commercial subscriptions. Enables real-time tracking of Russia's shadow fleet and other sanctioned vessels.

How to help: Share with journalists, compliance professionals, or researchers who might benefit. Feedback welcome at fleetleaks@proton.me
