Starboard® Maritime Intelligence announced it has engaged S Global Market Intelligence to provide value added intelligence services to the maritime information market. The collaboration means intelligence
analysts working to stop issues like illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing and reduce transnational crime
now have access to real-time maritime domain awareness integrated with the world’s most comprehensive vessel
information.
The engagement is focused on building impact by providing maritime analysts with the best tools available. Augmenting
Starboard’s maritime domain awareness software with S Global Market Intelligence vessel information can help with challenges like unpicking complicated vessel ownership
structures, identifying potential indicators of IUU fishing, and understanding combined histories of vessel behaviour
and changes in vessel information over time.
“S Global Market Intelligence is the leading provider of vessel information,” says Trent Fulcher, CEO, Starboard Maritime
Intelligence. “Being able to understand the complex relationships between vessel ownership or model a vessel’s risk
based on its characteristics are powerful tools for analysts. It helps them to more efficiently and accurately identify
illegal behaviour.”
The collaboration also includes an expansion to AIS from vessel based receivers and S Global Market Intelligence’s terrestrial AIS network. With this expansion, the Starboard team is delivering an increase
of around 11% in the number of vessel’s tracked in some congested areas.
“Maritime Domain Awareness is a growing market as concerns for climate security, food security, and biodiversity loss
continue to rise,” says Fulcher. ”Now more than ever there is a need for deep, accurate, and insightful information that
can be used to assess and act on negative human impacts to our oceans.”
The team will be hosting a webinar next month on the importance of combining vessel behaviours with accurate ownership
information for ocean protection. They will share examples of how analysts work with this information to identify high
risk vessels. Join George Devereese, Product Management Director for Maritime Intelligence Risk Suite and Maritime
