Please read this Disclaimer carefully before using the FleetLeaks website and services. This Disclaimer supplements our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

Nature of Information Provided

FleetLeaks is an independent maritime sanctions monitoring platform that aggregates and presents publicly available information from official government sources. All vessel designations, sanctions data, ownership information, and related content displayed on this website are sourced from public government publications, official sanctions lists, and publicly accessible records.

Not Legal, Financial, or Compliance Advice

THE INFORMATION PROVIDED ON THIS WEBSITE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE LEGAL, FINANCIAL, TAX, COMPLIANCE, OR PROFESSIONAL ADVICE OF ANY KIND. The content is for general informational and educational purposes only.

You should not rely on information from FleetLeaks as a substitute for:

  • Consultation with qualified legal counsel regarding sanctions compliance
  • Independent verification against official government sanctions lists
  • Professional due diligence for business transactions
  • Expert advice tailored to your specific circumstances

Before making any business, legal, or financial decisions based on information found on this website, consult with appropriate licensed professionals.

Data Accuracy and Timeliness

No Guarantee of Accuracy

While we make reasonable efforts to ensure data accuracy and timeliness, we make no representations or warranties regarding:

  • The completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability, or availability of any information
  • The currency of sanctions designations (authorities may update lists without notice)
  • The correctness of vessel particulars, ownership structures, or operational status
  • The interpretation or application of sanctions regulations

Rapidly Changing Information

Maritime sanctions and vessel information change frequently:

  • Sanctions designations may be added, modified, or removed by authorities at any time
  • Vessel ownership can change through complex corporate transactions
  • Vessel particulars (name, flag, registry) may be altered legitimately or deceptively
  • Operational status can shift between active trading, laid-up, or scrapped

Information on FleetLeaks represents a snapshot at the time of our last data update and may not reflect the current status.

Official Sources are Authoritative

ALWAYS VERIFY INFORMATION AGAINST OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT SANCTIONS LISTS. The following sources are authoritative:

  • United States: US Treasury OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List
  • United Kingdom: UK OFSI Consolidated List
  • European Union: EU Sanctions Map and Official Journal
  • Canada: Global Affairs Canada sanctions lists
  • Australia: DFAT Consolidated List
  • New Zealand: MFAT sanctions lists

FleetLeaks aggregates these sources for convenience but cannot replace direct consultation with official lists maintained by sanctioning authorities.
