Integrity in Operation · Confidence in Compliance
KYC compliance services addressing the full AML/CTF and regulatory obligation — compliance custodianship for entities and vessels, counterparty due diligence, and systematic screening of entities, transactions, and personnel. Built by maritime professionals who understand both the regulatory framework and the operational reality it governs.
Six distinct compliance products addressing the full spectrum of maritime regulatory obligations. Each service is delivered independently or as part of an integrated compliance programme — because effective compliance requires both breadth of coverage and depth of expertise.

When a counterparty places a KYC or compliance demand on you, IPS responds with a certified dossier issued on your authority. Subscription establishment followed by per-demand issuance.

From anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing obligations to international sanctions regimes, environmental standards, and enhanced due diligence requirements — vessel owners, operators and managers face complex, evolving compliance landscapes.
Non-compliance carries severe consequences: operational disruptions, reputational damage, financial penalties and potential criminal liability. Yet compliance should not be viewed merely as risk mitigation — when properly structured, it becomes a strategic advantage, enabling smoother operations, faster approvals and enhanced credibility with authorities, insurers and commercial partners.
