About Us

ALLIGATOR CONSULTING LTD. is an independent consulting firm specializing exclusively in sanctions-related cases involving commercial vessels. With maritime law expertise and deep regulatory knowledge, we assist shipowners, operators, managers, and charterers whose vessels have been detained, restricted, blacklisted, or affected by international sanctions regimes.

Our mission is straightforward: to identify the root cause of sanctions imposition, develop a lawful exit strategy, and guide the vessel back into compliant, uninterrupted operations.

Our Commitment

We operate with absolute confidentiality, precision, and a comprehensive understanding of international maritime regulations, OFAC, EU, UK, and UN sanctions frameworks. Our team combines maritime professionals, former flag state officials, and compliance experts to deliver practical solutions.
