Risk Management
LSEG needed to help shipping market participants identify and mitigate sanctions compliance risk in global maritime trade as deceptive practices such as dark activity and ship-to-ship transfers made manual assessment more complex.
Reported impact
LSEG can offer trading and chartering users a real-time workflow for assessing and mitigating maritime sanctions compliance risk using AI-driven vessel risk profiling combined with its shipping analytics.
LSEG deployed Windward’s AI-based solution into its LSEG Workspace environment to strengthen maritime sanctions screening for shipping-market users. The implementation augments LSEG shipping analytics with Windward vessel risk profiling in real time, so trading and chartering teams can evaluate suspicious behaviour inside their normal workflow instead of using a separate tool. According to the release, the AI monitors about 117,200 vessels at sea globally, including oil tankers, dry bulk carriers, and container vessels. It applies advanced behavioural risk assessment models to vessel activity and screens for indicators such as going dark by altering or disabling AIS tracking, visiting ports in sanctioned countries, and loitering in sanctioned areas. The resulting risk profiles are surfaced through LSEG Workspace; the source does not disclose a distinct storage layer or back-end data persistence design.
Windward’s AI-based solution monitors approximately 117,200 vessels at sea, evaluates behavioural indicators such as AIS signal manipulation, sanctioned-port visits, and loitering in sanctioned areas, and produces vessel risk profiles. LSEG blends those profiles with its shipping analytics capabilities and presents the combined output in real time through the LSEG Workspace platform for trading and chartering users.
"42% of all high-risk tankers being Russian-affiliated."
"It will track approximately 117,200 vessels currently at sea globally including oil tankers, dry bulk carriers and container vessels."
"This could include ‘going dark’ – turning off or altering an AIS tracking device, visiting the port of a sanctioned country, and/or loitering in a sanctioned area."
"Windward’s maritime AI-powered technology will augment existing shipping analytic capabilities available on the LSEG Workspace platform in real-time."
"using AI and advanced behavioural risk assessments models, the technology screens against criteria which could be an indicator of illicit activity to determine a risk profile."
"we can now equip our trading and chartering users with the best solution to assess and mitigate the sanctions compliance risks in the maritime space as part of their daily workflow."
