Vessel Tracking: New Big Data Tools to Enforce Sanctions and Export Controls.
This Act establishes a four-year pilot program utilizing big data analytics to help law enforcement identify vessels evading U.S. sanctions or export controls. The program focuses on ships that disable or manipulate their Automatic Identification System (AIS), a common tactic used in illegal shipping. This initiative aims to strengthen national economic security and improve the enforcement of U.S. foreign policy.
Key points
A four-year pilot program is mandated to track vessels that manipulate their tracking systems (AIS) to avoid detection.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection will use big data analytics to predict and identify high-risk instances of sanctions and export control evasion.
Intelligence gathered will be shared with U.S. and international law enforcement agencies to interdict illegal shipments.
