DRY CARGO FIXING & COMPLIANCE SERVICES

Specialized Brokerage for High-Friction Maritime Jurisdictions.

Standard dry cargo brokerage is about matching a ship to a cargo. At SanctionedShipping.com, we do more. We provide the vetting, the technical intelligence, and the regulatory bridge required to fix tonnage in regions where others see only barriers. Our services are designed for Charterers and Cargo Owners who prioritize security, transparency, and operational continuity in the world’s most challenging dry bulk markets.

1. STRATEGIC DRY CARGO FIXING

We specialize in sourcing and fixing reliable tonnage for high-friction ports, with a focus on Geared Bulk Carriers (Handysize to Kamsarmax).

  • Humanitarian Aid & NGO Support: Dedicated brokerage for WFP and NGO-linked dry bulk shipments, ensuring essential grain and medicine reach Yemen, Sudan, and West Africa.

  • Industrial & Infrastructure Cargo: Sourcing specialized vessels for oversized steel, cement, and infrastructure equipment for regional development projects.

  • Geared Vessel Solutions: Expertise in sourcing self-discharging vessels for ports where shore-side infrastructure is non-existent or compromised.

2. AIS FORENSIC VETTING & DARK FLEET DETECTION

In 2026, the risk of "Dark Fleet" contagion is a reality. We protect your supply chain by ensuring that every vessel we fix is verified through a rigorous forensic audit.

  • AIS History Audits: We analyze satellite data to ensure a vessel has no history of "Going Dark," GNSS spoofing, or unauthorized Ship-to-Ship (STS) transfers.

  • Ownership Transparency (UBO): We verify the Ultimate Beneficial Owners to ensure your fixture is not indirectly supporting sanctioned entities.

  • SAR Satellite Verification: We use Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) to confirm vessel positions during high-risk transits, providing an extra layer of security beyond AIS.

3. REGULATORY LIAISON & VSCP PROTOCOLS

We provide the "Paper Trail" that keeps your supply chain compliant with international law and banking requirements.

  • UNVIM & Naval Coordination: For Red Sea transits, we handle the complex United Nations Verification (UNVIM) filing and maintain liaison with naval escort missions.

  • Sanctions Documentation (OFAC/UN/EU): We provide voyage-specific reporting and Comfort Letter facilitation to ensure banks and insurers clear your transactions without delay.

  • VSCP (Vessel Sanctions Compliance Procedure): Every fixture follows our proprietary VSCP, protecting all parties from secondary sanctions and regulatory flags.

4. TACTICAL PORT & SECURITY INTELLIGENCE

We don't just fix a ship; we manage the voyage environment to prevent costly delays.

  • Real-Time Terminal Briefings: Up-to-the-minute data on berth availability, draft restrictions, and local stevedore productivity in ports like Hodeidah, Conakry, and Port Sudan.

  • War Risk & Insurance Liaison: We assist in securing competitive Additional Premiums (AP) by providing underwriters with verified, data-driven risk-mitigation plans.

  • Local Agency Supervision: We appoint and supervise pre-vetted local agents who understand the unique reporting needs of high-friction trade.
