Designed with industry experts, our regulatory technology solution, PurpleTRAC, enables the automation, streamlining, and recording of compliance processes.
IN-DEPTH TRANSACTION INFORMATION
Regulatory risk can be associated with all aspects of a trade transaction, including the buyers, sellers, cities, ports, goods, and vessels involved in the shipping process.
CUSTOMISABLE TECHNOLOGY
With best-in-class data configured to individual risk parameters, PurpleTRAC utilises our patented persistent tracking technology for an accurate picture of maritime trade exposure within an easy-to-use, web-based solution with API and DLT compatibility.
How it works
In seconds, PurpleTRAC enables users to:
Screen the vessels used in a transaction, their associated ownership and management, port state control history, and Bills of Lading, against sanctions and enforcement action watchlists.
Monitor a ship’s historical, real-time, and dark activity, and be notified of high-risk points of call or suspicious behaviour indicating potentially illicit activity.
Calculate the carbon emission output and environmental impact of a transaction.
Generate an audit trail to demonstrate best efforts in compliance.
Pole Star are an important partner as Gunvor works to continuously strengthen and refine our compliance controls amidst increasingly complex political realms.

...using the PurpleTRAC system and with support from Pole Star, our Compliance Officers can assess the movement of goods faster and more easily. They can therefore make quicker decisions, minimising the bank's and our customer's risk of breaching international sanctions.

Sanctions Screening
Screen a vessel, its associated ownership, and management against sanctions, proprietary, enforcement action, and other official lists using best-in-class data from our alliance partners, Dow Jones Risk and Compliance.
Global Sanctions: A list of international sanctions, denied parties, and enforcement action lists.
Country Sanctions: A ship’s Flag and associated companies’ countries of registration domicile and control.
Port State Control: The ship’s entire Port State Control history.
Ship Movement History: A ship’s historic movements, highlighting visits to high risk or sanctioned ports.
Illicit Activity Monitoring & Investigations
Continuously monitor vessel activity:
Detection & Alerts: Notifications for high risk activity, e.g. entry to blacklisted port.
Hybrid Track Technology: A single trail combining AIS and Inmarsat position data.
Customisable features: Bespoke screening parameters, e.g. country/port blacklists.
Conduct detailed investigations:
Bill of Lading Verification: By simply entering the bill of lading number of a container shipment, confirm whether it is a recognised, legitimate asset within the database of container lines currently supported, and receive a list of all vessels, ports, and container lines involved in the BL delivery.
Dark Activity/Ship-to-ship transfer risk: Investigate periods of AIS non-reporting to locate a vessel in relation to high-risk transshipment areas and regulatory zones.
Enhanced vessel intelligence: Monitor vessels suspected of illicit activity, by performing further analysis on non-reporting gaps for full visibility of your marine assets and logistics using our Maritime Domain Awareness linkout.
Sustainability Screening
With 90% of world trade travelling by sea, shipping is the backbone of our fossil-fuelled global trade mechanism.
Carbon scoring: Screen a vessel against environmental regulations using CarbonChain’s emissions calculations and greenhouse gas emissions data to receive a vessel’ environmental impact rating in comparison to its competitors in a downloadable report.
Environmental degradation screening: Screen a transaction pre-trade for sustainability risk relating to any actively traded commodity using Vasanda’s unique real-time monitoring of empirical climate impact data, including deforestation, soil erosion, and fire risks.
