Strengthening Compliance Amidst Global Tensions
The recent geopolitical unrest, highlighted by the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, has ushered in a slew of regulatory changes.

This changing landscape underscores the need for robust counterparty due diligence to prevent inadvertent collaborations with malicious entities. For companies like Peninsula, where split-second decisions are crucial in bunker trading and supply, technology that offers rapid compliance feedback becomes invaluable. This is precisely where Windward’s Maritime AI™ makes its mark.
