Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List
Trygg Mat Tracking's Combined IUU Vessel List consolidates regional fisheries management organizations' illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing vessel lists into one searchable site, with identity fields such as name, flag, call sign and IMO number. An Excel download is available from the site's Download page, which asks the requester's reason for the data.
Coverage
Fishing and related vessels currently or historically listed as IUU by an RFMO. The site says its information is updated continuously, though the underlying RFMO lists may only update annually, and no total vessel count is published on the homepage.
Verdict
This is a compliance and OSINT list for cross-checking a vessel's identity against known IUU designations, playing the same role in this catalog that Global Fishing Watch's dark-vessel detection plays for undeclared activity. The provider welcomes all non-commercial use and will consider commercial due-diligence use case by case, but its conditions say "Re-packaging and/or reselling the data, in whole or as part of a product or commercial service, is not permitted." Treat it as a lookup and manual-review source, not a bulk feed to redistribute.
