    There are publicly available databases on ships with pretty detailed information, including their travels. For a fee there are services that provide cargo information as well.

        I imagine a certain amount had to be public so the west knows who’s ducking sanctions and can prevent import tax evasion, etc.

        Edit: meaning it’s catch 22. Hide the manifest and not be able to dock anywhere. Or makeb it public and let your enemies know what you’re carrying.

        Also, it might be the export countries who log the data to show everyone that they’re being honest?
