The Problem<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\n\n

The transaction is clean on paper. The vessel is the question.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n
\n

Banks, trade finance desks, and commodity houses face sanctions exposure through the vessels that carry the trades they fund. Attestations and document checks are necessary, and they are also exactly what evasive operators are structured to pass: clean paperwork over a hull that went dark, transferred cargo at sea, or called at a port it never declared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Theia lets compliance and risk teams test the claim against the voyage. Verified identity on the hull behind each transaction, observed behavior across the financing period, and continuous monitoring on flagged entities so a vessel that changes its pattern surfaces before the exposure does.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Know-your-vessel due diligence on the hull behind the transaction: verified identity, ownership and flag history, sanctions exposure assessed on observed movements rather than declared ones.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Between drawdown and delivery, the voyage is watched: dark legs, at-sea transfers, undeclared port calls, and deviations from the stated route surface as alerts while the exposure is still open.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

When something surfaces, compliance gets a documented finding rather than a hunch: structured reports with imagery, measurements, and lineage that support a hold, an inquiry, or a filing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

Regulatory Context<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\n\n

Attestations are no longer enough.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n
\n

The regulatory frame is explicit. Joint guidance from OFAC, the U.S. State Department, and the Coast Guard directed the maritime and financial sectors to address deceptive shipping practices, and the price cap regime on Russian oil rests on an attestation model that regulators themselves acknowledge can be gamed. Institutions that rely on attestations alone are holding exactly the risk that verification is designed to remove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
