What a counterparty or lender needs before the first fixture.

KYC is completed on every counterparty before the first fixture: entity documents, ownership to the ultimate beneficial owner, and the people we deal with. Brokers' principals are screened the same way. On every fixture the vessel, registered owner, beneficial owner and manager are screened against the UN, EU, UK and US sanctions lists. [CONFIRM screening tool and lists] A counterparty or vessel that fails screening is not fixed, whatever the rate. We expect to be screened in return and answer KYC requests within [CONFIRM] working days.
