Know Your Counterparty Before You Charter
Maritime transactions in West Africa carry elevated counterparty risk. Our KYC and due diligence service provides verified background information on counterparties — charterers, cargo interests, vessel owners, and agents — so you can transact with confidence.
We screen against OFAC, EU, UN, and HM Treasury sanction lists, conduct beneficial ownership verification, and assess commercial reputation within the West African shipping community before any fixture is concluded.
