Windward\u2019s Predictive Intelligence platform is driving the digital transformation of the oil trading industry by optimizing transactions with vessel screening, enhanced sanctions compliance, and fleet monitoring<\/p>\n
London, UK, February 15th, 2022 \u2013 Windward (LON: WNWD), the Predictive Intelligence company applying AI to transform global maritime trade, announced today that it has partnered with Avin International, an independent tanker operator active in the shipment of crude oil and petroleum. The partnership was formed through Oriani Hellas, Windward\u2019s regional representation in Greece, a region critical for the oil industry as Greek parent companies represent more than 25% of the world\u2019s tanker fleet. Avin International will use Windward\u2019s AI-powered platform to bolster its sanctions compliance program, screen vessels, and assess maritime traffic and port congestion.<\/p>\n
The energy industry has seen an increase in regulatory requirements in recent years driving the need for a clear understanding of the entities stakeholders conduct business with, directly or indirectly. As methods of deceptive shipping practices become more advanced, the onus lies with all entities involved in oil trading to ensure that vessels aren\u2019t being used for illicit purposes. Ship operators in particular are mandated to ensure compliance with industry and government regulations, and therefore need to optimize their due diligence processes to guarantee the vessels they manage are being used solely for legitimate trading purposes.<\/p>\n
Avin International will optimize its oil trading operations using Windward\u2019s platform to enhance sanction compliance processes, monitor its fleet, screen vessels that interact with its fleet, and assess traffic and congestion in areas and ports of interest. Windward\u2019s platform analyzes numerous factors including vessel behaviors, ownership structures, company risks, and others, predicting in real-time which companies and vessels are likely to be high risk, and which are safe to conduct business with. Windward\u2019s solution is easily integrated into existing workflows, enabling Avin International to free up resources to focus on other business needs.<\/p>\n
\u201cRegulators in the oil trading industry are raising the bar for all entities involved in sanctions and compliance processes.
