What these numbers mean

Counts describe this source’s current available records, before any name search. Records can overlap within and across lists. They are not counts of unique entities.

Publicly browsable records are the portion available in the public directory. A record’s presence does not by itself establish an active sanction.

Organizations include companies and other bodies. Other / unspecified means the source record has no more specific supported type.

What this source covers

The SECO XML download includes target information and historical modifications. The adapter considers effective delisting changes when deriving the set of active records, while preserving source history for traceability.

How to interpret this source

SECO search results do not establish ownership or control. Vessel names may be retained, but an IMO number embedded in free text is not treated as a verified structured identifier. Original legal measures remain essential context.

Source availability
