Course Overview
Strengthen maritime operations by mastering global sanctions rules, vessel compliance, and trade-risk mitigation.
Course Overview
Maritime trade is increasingly exposed to complex sanctions regimes that affect vessels, cargo, financing, insurance, and global supply chains. This course provides a comprehensive understanding of sanctions frameworks, high-risk behaviours, compliance expectations, and due-diligence requirements in maritime operations.
Participants learn to identify deceptive shipping practices, conduct counterparty screening, ensure vessel compliance, and manage legal and commercial exposure. Using case studies from enforcement actions and industry incidents, the programme equips professionals to build robust sanctions-compliance systems that protect operational integrity and support lawful global trade.
