Actionable insights

Protect against cargo risk exposure

We deliver actionable cargo insights by combining contextual data on cargo, origin, voyage events — including STS transfers — volumes, and sanctions.

Continuous monitoring also ensures full visibility of cargo movements — assisting with supply/demand analysis — while integrated risk ratings using a standardised RAG (red-amber-green) framework enables fast, consistent decision-making.

Unique data models

Gain a complete view of global vessel movements for data-driven decisions

We combine terrestrial, shipborne and satellite AIS with human intelligence with our global geospatial database to capture near-shore and off-shore vessel movements.

This data is overlayed by our unique AI models to provide pinpoint accurate insight on historic, current and predicted vessel movements — helping improve supply planning, prospect acquisition and engagement timing.

Real-time validation

Make smarter supply decisions

GNSS interference detection and real-time AIS validation​ ensures accurate vessel positioning and STS monitoring, helping to avoid inefficient logistics decisions driven by spoofed data.

Our detection models enable faster vessel clearance for time-sensitive trading opportunities, and reduce the burden on compliance teams by minimising false positives.

“Previously we would have to seek clarification [for dark activity] from the customer and wait. There was a lot of back and forth and often the answers could be incomplete.
Now, we can investigate, obtain the full picture and resolve it by ourselves. This makes a really big difference.”
