Pole Star will implement its sanctions compliance screening and vessel tracking solution, PurpleTRAC to allow their clients to manage their sanction-related risk and compliance issues quickly and conveniently.
The PurpleTRAC solution scans ships and their associates (associated group beneficial owner, registered owner, operator, ship manager and technical manager) against a comprehensive set of trade compliance lists (including over 400 economic sanctions, embargoes and denied party lists) to generate their current and historical sanctioned status.
It is said to issue a warning that allows the ship to steer away from blacklisted ports, or stops it from sailing into a sanctioned country.
The solution features convenient ‘traffic light’ icons that highlight the severity of the situation, which can be tailored in accordance to the organisation’s business requirements.
