Registered entity
Not in GLEIF registry
LEI registration is voluntary for non-financial maritime entities; absence is itself a signal.

Recent Port Calls (AIS)

No AIS port-call data captured for NERO in the last 180 days. Sanctioned vessels frequently transmit AIS irregularly or disable transponders entirely β€” this absence is itself a vetting signal documented in the OFAC, EU, and IMO sanctions evasion advisories.
