Vessel UCB
Core vessel entities, beneficial-owner company, UCB, identifiers and risk explanation.
Review deliverablesMaritime intelligenceFrom vessel identity
From vessel identity
to ultimate control.
Tevuna connects vessel identity, ownership, management, corporate control, cargo and operational evidence into one traceable intelligence picture.
Ownership intelligence products
Escalate only when the case requires deeper investigation.
Vessel UCB provides rapid attribution, AVI reconstructs the complete reachable chain and Deep Dive Intelligence addresses deliberately opaque cases.
AVI
All Vessel UCB outputs plus every reachable ownership and control layer.
Review deliverablesDeep Dive Intelligence
Analyst-led intelligence for dark, opaque or undisclosed ownership structures.
Review deliverablesDark Ships
Image-led vessel identification using visual, geospatial, historical and operational evidence.
Review capabilityXBO
Identify the actual economic or controlling interests behind cargo movements.
Review capabilityVessel UCB
Identify who ultimately controls or benefits from the vessel structure.
Vessel UCB is a rapid, structured product for the core ownership and control conclusion behind a vessel.
- Shipowner and ship manager
- Vessel beneficial-owner company
- Ultimate Controlling Beneficiary of the identified company
- Risk Y or N with an explanation from vessel level through the UCB
- All available identifiers for every identified company
- Sources, reasoning and confidence

AVI — Advanced Vessel Intelligence
Reconstruct every reachable layer across jurisdictions.
AVI adds the complete reachable ownership and control chain to all Vessel UCB outputs. The workflow is built for registry fragmentation, local-language filings and layered holding structures.
- Every reachable direct and indirect ownership level
- Parent companies, holdings and intermediary entities
- Ownership percentages and relevant dates where available
- China, Panama, Hong Kong, Marshall Islands and Liberia where records are reachable
- Risk, identifiers, references and confidence at each identified layer

Deep Dive Intelligence
Investigate ownership designed to remain undisclosed.
Deep Dive Intelligence addresses dark ships, opaque transfers and vessels recorded as sold to undisclosed interests. It combines corporate research with historical, operational and intelligence analysis.
- Everything included in AVI
- Enhanced ownership reconstruction where conventional records fail
- Historical identity, management, flag and transfer analysis
- Intelligence assessment on every identified corporate layer
- Cargo, trade and operational context where relevant
- Contradictions, evidence gaps, alternative hypotheses and confidence

Dark Ship Identification
Move from an image to an attributable vessel.
For government and enterprise clients, Tevuna combines imagery, visible vessel characteristics, geospatial context, operational patterns, available signals and maritime records to identify or reduce the candidate set for an unknown ship.
- Image-led vessel characteristic analysis
- Location, environment and time-window assessment
- AIS, registry and historical activity comparison
- Ownership, management and risk intelligence after identification

XBO Cargo
Identify who is economically behind the cargo.
Shipping and trade records often expose logistics parties without identifying the true cargo-originating, economic or controlling interest. XBO Cargo extends corporate ownership intelligence into the cargo network.
- Shipper, consignee, charterer and intermediary analysis
- Corporate ownership and control reconstruction
- Economic or controlling party behind the cargo
- Trade, jurisdictional, sanctions and relationship risk
- Available company identifiers, sources and confidence

Operational delivery
Designed for analysts, counsel, compliance and systems.
Use the outputs as a report, structured dataset, recurring batch or API-integrated intelligence workflow.
Case intelligence
Evidence-linked narrative and structured entities for one vessel or investigation.
Portfolio screening
Consistent ownership, control, identifiers, risk, reasoning and confidence across vessel lists.
Workflow integration
Schema-aligned import and delivery for internal products and decision systems.
Test the capability
Use a vessel your current tools cannot resolve.
A difficult case is the most useful way to evaluate attribution depth and evidence quality.
