Why most EU-listed ships are not "frozen"
Annex XLII is a port and services ban, not an asset freeze — and it isn't in the EU financial sanctions file.
Explainers
Flags of convenience, AIS gaps, ship-to-ship transfers, ownership onions, price-cap attestations. Publishing in Phase 2.

Listings per quarter, when each authority started, and the packages that produced most of the fleet.
Methodology & sources
Which lists, how often, what we do and do not say.
