Case study: A leading global bank revolutionises maritime compliance risk management

sea-moss-colorblock

Maritime compliance risk management is more critical than ever in today's fast-paced financial landscape. The evolving challenges, from vessel tracking to money laundering, place immense pressure on banks and financial institutions. Staying compliant with global trade laws, regulations, and sanctions is no small feat, especially when outdated manual processes slow you down.

A prominent global bank faced these challenges head-on. Throughout this case study, we explore how the bank transformed its maritime risk compliance framework by partnering with Lloyd's List Intelligence. With this collaboration, our client was able to drastically reduce their exposure to financial crime, sanctions, and compliance penalties—while streamlining their operations.

Key challenges: Navigating complex maritime risks

Before partnering with Lloyd's List Intelligence, the bank encountered several pressing issues:

  • Manual processes: Risk assessments took 20 minutes per transaction, leading to inefficiencies and human error.
  • Outdated data: The bank struggled with incomplete and outdated data sources which created information gaps and increased the risk of non-compliance.
  • Sanctions and money laundering exposure: Inaccurate vessel tracking heightened the risk of engaging in illegal transactions.
  • Unclear beneficial ownership: The bank lacked visibility into vessel ownership, risking compliance violations.
  • Data integration: Multiple data sources could not be consolidated into one streamlined compliance framework, causing delays.
  • Regulatory pressure: Facing growing regulatory audits and penalties, the bank urgently needed to overhaul its compliance processes.

Hindering of operational efficiency, strain on resources and increased regulatory risks are just some of the challenges the bank needed to address.
