Black List (high risk)
21.8% 3-year detention rate

The Iran flag holds Black List (high risk) placement across the two largest port state control regimes. Detention rates reflect the percentage of IR-flagged vessels detained out of all inspections at member-state ports over the most recent three-year window. Black-list flags face the highest inspection targeting frequency and the most severe scrutiny on chartering, financing, and insurance.
