Pole Star

Sanctions screening and vessel-tracking services, including PurpleTRAC, for maritime compliance teams.

About

Pole Star sells vessel tracking and compliance screening for maritime trade. PurpleTRAC is the product compliance teams use to screen vessels, owners, and voyages against sanctions lists before they fix, finance, or insure a ship.

It overlaps Windward on sanctions and risk, and it overlaps MarineTraffic only in that both use vessel identity and position. Pole Star's buyer is the compliance desk, not a member of the public looking up a ferry. It does not manage crew, maintenance, or voyage accounting.
