Due diligence
In the realm of international sanctions and multifaceted ship operations, a thoroughly conducted inspection can shield you from unwelcome complications and substantial financial losses. By meticulously examining all relevant parameters, Interlegal helps you avoid high-stakes pitfalls that may jeopardize your assets or reputation. Our firm offers a comprehensive ship due diligence service – an all-encompassing assessment of the vessel, its proprietors, and its managers to ensure adherence with global sanctions.
Our seasoned experts meticulously analyze both official and unofficial data pertaining to the vessel in the following critical areas:
- History of commercial operations: A thorough review of the vessel’s visits to restricted ports, AIS tracking records, and the coherence of reported positions to uncover potential liabilities.
- Ownership and management structure: Investigation of possible affiliations with sanctioned individuals or corporations.
- Sanctions databases: Examination for the vessel or its owners in the sanctions listings of Ukraine, the U.S., the U.N., and the E.U.
- State registries: Gathering intelligence from recognized registries in any jurisdiction where the vessel plans to conduct commercial activities.
- Unofficial sources: Probing lesser-known blacklists of delinquent vessels that could be referenced by enforcement agencies.
Once our assessment is complete, clients receive an impartial professional opinion detailing the vessel’s sanctions exposure, an informed projection of prospective transactions involving this asset, and expert recommendations on risk mitigation.
For any commercial endeavor involving a vessel, it is evident that a prompt verification of sanctions compliance is crucial. Our due diligence solutions empower you with the confidence and clarity needed to steer your enterprise toward success, free from unforeseen complications.
