LSEG World-Check One
The highest level of sanctions defence
Moving cargo in a complex and volatile world requires the highest levels of assurance and risk management. LSEG World-Check One is a powerful and comprehensive maritime sanctions tool, providing users with a risk assessment fully in line with regulations and legislation. Developed in collaboration with the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), it leverages World-Check, the global standard database for sanctions and regulatory risk.
Fully integrated into the RightShip Platform, the sanctions check conducts a review of a selected vessel against World-Check's comprehensive database, instantly alerting compliance teams to relevant risks and generating an easy-to-understand report. This allows users to make informed decisions in accordance with their business needs and risk appetite.

Checking vessels against a comprehensive range of risks

World-Check checks vessels across two categories: ECVES and SIVES.

SIVES (Special Interest Vessel) identifies vessels involved in risk and/or connected, related, associated, affiliated, linked to, owned, or controlled indirectly by a sanctioned entity/individual. It includes:
- Vessels listed by an international body in respect of illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing
