Problem
Monitoring maritime activity and detecting illegal fishing or non-reporting vessels is challenging due to the vastness of the oceans and the limitations of traditional surveillance methods. Manual analysis of vessel movements is time-consuming and inefficient, while reliance on Automatic Identification System (AIS) data alone is insufficient, as it can be tampered with or switched off.
Solution
Starboard offers a subscription-based software platform that integrates global Automatic Identification System (AIS) data with satellite imagery and scientific models to provide comprehensive maritime domain awareness. The platform automates data processing and analysis, enabling users to efficiently assess risks, prioritize surveillance efforts, and uncover dark vessels. By combining multiple data sources and applying intelligent algorithms, Starboard delivers actionable intelligence for effective maritime monitoring and protection.
Target Audience
Starboard is designed for government agencies, maritime authorities, and organizations responsible for monitoring national waters, combating illegal fishing, and ensuring maritime security.
