Regional Risk Context — North Atlantic

In the last 180 days, ArcNautical recorded 105 vessel arrivals at Las Palmas, with Cargo accounting for 62% of port calls — higher than the North Atlantic regional average of 49%. Las Palmas in Spain sits along the backbone of transatlantic trade between Europe and the Americas. The North Atlantic is generally lower-risk than active piracy or conflict zones, but its weather is among the most powerful on Earth. The winter storm season (November–March) produces sustained gale-force winds, significant wave heights above 10 metres, and reduced visibility. The Great Circle route between Northern Europe and the US East Coast passes through peak storm activity, and the choice between a shorter rougher track and a longer calmer deviation has material financial implications. EU and US sanctions enforcement adds compliance overhead — both maintain extensive regimes that require thorough vessel and ownership-chain vetting.

Port State Control Context

Las Palmas falls under the Paris MoU. The Paris Memorandum of Understanding does not publish a bulk per-vessel detention CSV. ArcNautical evaluates per-vessel detention probability using flag-state performance (3-year rolling rate from the 2024 Paris MoU annual report), vessel age, deficiency history, and ownership transparency. Paris MoU PSC inspections remain among the most rigorous globally.
