In “Ship Registries Agree to Information Pact to Help Avoid Sanctions Evasion” (1 July 2020, ACSS), K2 Intelligence FIN is featured discussing how the Registry Information Sharing Compact (RISC) helps to enable the removal of bad actors from their respective flag registries simultaneously. This type of information sharing is important because illicit shipping companies have often engaged in “flag hopping” to evade scrutiny, or re-registering the same vessel under different registries to continue to engage in sanction evasion activity. RISC is one step to help prevent this behavior.
