14,843 companies, ships and aircraft under sanctions — and 112 names on all three lists
The OFAC, UK and UN lists name 14,843 organisations, vessels and aircraft as of 21 October 2026. Russia accounts for 38 percent of OFAC entries and two thirds of the UK list; 1,120 listed entities have a Chinese address. Only 112 names appear on all three lists, and OFAC adds about a hundred entries a month while removing a few dozen.

Three sanctions lists matter for almost every compliance check: the U.S. Treasury's OFAC lists, the UK Sanctions List and the UN Security Council Consolidated List. We load all three daily and record only organisations, vessels and aircraft — never individuals — one page per entry with the official record behind it. On 21 October 2026 they name 14,843 such entries: 12,219 by OFAC, 2,350 by the UK and 274 by the UN; 12,259 organisations, 2,242 vessels and 342 aircraft.
Russia is the list
The single largest program is OFAC's Russia designation under Executive Order 14024: 4,680 entries, 38 percent of everything OFAC lists. On the UK side the Russia regulations carry 1,583 of 2,350 entries, and 1,531 of those were designated on or after 24 February 2022. By address, 4,104 listed entities are in Russia; Iran follows with 1,175, then China with 1,120 — of which 281 are listed under the Russia program, 204 under Iran financial sanctions (IFSR) and 146 under proliferation (NPWMD). The United Arab Emirates has 758 listed entities and Mexico 562, the latter almost entirely narcotics designations.
Ships and planes
Of the 2,242 sanctioned vessels, 645 sit on the UK Russia regime and 444 on OFAC's; a further 530 are Iranian under two OFAC programs. The 342 aircraft are mostly terrorism (SDGT, 104), Iran (IFSR, 100) and Russia (90) designations — airline fleets listed tail number by tail number.
Three lists, little overlap
The lists are not copies of each other. 237 of the 274 UN entries also appear on OFAC or the UK list under the same name, but only 623 of 2,350 UK entries do, and just 112 names stand on all three — the old UN-rooted designations such as 7th of Tir or the Abu Sayyaf Group. Everything else is on one or two lists, which is why a screen against one list is not a screen against sanctions. The UN's own list is small and concentrated: Al-Qaida (88), Iran (78) and North Korea (75) make up 241 of its 274 organisations.
How fast the lists move
OFAC's list changes every week. Since FACTANKER began tracking it on 27 July 2026, OFAC added 94 organisations, vessels or aircraft in September and 108 in the first twenty days of October, and removed 11 and 49. Every removal keeps its page, marked with the date the entry last appeared, because "was this company ever sanctioned" is a question too.
What this is and is not
Sources: OFAC SDN and Consolidated lists (XML), the UK Sanctions List (OFSI XML) and the UN Security Council Consolidated List (XML), loaded daily. "Listed since" is the designation date where the list gives one (UK, UN); OFAC publishes none per entry, so it is the date the entry first appeared in a publication we loaded. Names are matched across lists by exact normalised spelling, with no fuzzy matching and no ownership inference, so the overlap figures are a floor. This is a lookup with a link to the record, not a compliance screen and not legal advice.
