How this service works
Single vessel identity by IMO. Returns scalar identity: name, MMSI, flag (ISO-3166-1 alpha-2), AIS type (e.g. `Tanker`, `Cargo`, `Fishing`), subtype (e.g. `Crude Oil Tanker`), commercial market (13-value enum: `WET BULK`, `DRY BULK`, `CONTAINER SHIPS`, …), overall length in metres, year built, and the boolean `sanctioned` / `watchlisted` rollups across OFAC, FCDO, EU, UANI, ASO, GAC, UN, SECO, MFAT, and the War-Tracker OSINT shadow-fleet watchlist. Free for browsers, AI-search crawlers…
Output
Returns a JSON object with the vessel's name, MMSI, ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 flag code, AIS type (e.g. Tanker, Cargo, Fishing), subtype (e.g. Crude Oil Tanker), commercial market from a 13-value enum (e.g. WET BULK, DRY BULK, CONTAINER SHIPS), overall length in metres, year built, and boolean sanctioned/watchlisted rollups across OFAC, FCDO, EU, UANI, ASO, GAC, UN, SECO, MFAT, and the War-Tracker OSINT shadow-fleet watchlist.
Example use cases
Sanctions check before cargo booking
“Before we confirm this charter, can you pull up IMO 9387425 and tell me if the vessel is sanctioned or watchlisted by OFAC, the EU, or the UN? I also need to know its flag state and what type of ship it is.”
Shadow fleet tanker identification
“I've got a vessel with IMO 9541173 that someone flagged as a possible shadow fleet ship — can you look it up and tell me its name, flag, AIS type, what commercial market it operates in, and whether it appears on the War-Tracker shadow-fleet watchlist or any major sanctions lists?”
Due diligence on counterparty vessel
“We're onboarding a new shipping counterparty and they've listed IMO 9214195 as one of their vessels. Can you fetch all the identity details — name, flag, dimensions, year built, AIS type — and run a full sanctions and watchlist check across OFAC, EU, FCDO, and the UN?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://war-tracker.com/api/v1/vessels/:imoWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need comprehensive vessel identity plus multi-regime sanctions/watchlist status in a single call for a known IMO number. It is the preferred choice when you need to cross-reference OFAC, EU, FCDO, UN, and shadow-fleet status simultaneously rather than querying individual sanctions databases. Choose this over the sibling sanctions-only endpoint when you also need vessel identity fields (name, flag, AIS type, market, dimensions). Best for due-diligence workflows, shipping compliance checks, and maritime risk enrichment pipelines.
Side effects
- Invalid or non-existent IMO number returns 404 or empty result
- IMO number not yet indexed in War-Tracker database returns no data
- Network timeout or upstream AIS feed unavailability
- Payment failure via x402 micro-payment protocol
- Rate limiting if called too frequently
- Sanctions data may lag official list updates by hours or days
