Maritime Authorities

• Security and Defense
  MDA platforms help maritime authorities monitor and detect potential threats to national security and defense. This includes tracking the movement of vessels, identifying suspicious activities, and responding to potential security breaches such as piracy, smuggling, or terrorist activities.
• Safety of Navigation
  MDA systems assist in ensuring the safety of vessels and crew by providing real-time information about weather conditions, navigational hazards, and the movement of other vessels in congested waterways. This information helps prevent accidents and collisions.
• Environmental Protection
  Monitoring the maritime domain is crucial for safeguarding the marine environment. MDA platforms can detect and respond to incidents such as oil spills, illegal fishing, and other activities that may harm marine ecosystems.
• Search and Rescue
  When vessels or individuals are in distress at sea, MDA platforms aid in coordinating search and rescue operations. They can help identify the last known positions of vessels or persons in distress and facilitate a timely response.
• Customs and Border Control
  MDA platforms are vital for customs and border control agencies to detect and prevent illegal activities such as drug trafficking, human smuggling, and the illegal transport of goods. They can identify vessels engaged in suspicious or unauthorized activities.

• Resource Management
  Governments and organizations can use MDA data to manage maritime resources effectively. This includes regulating fishing activities, monitoring shipping routes, and ensuring the sustainable use of maritime resources.
• Situational Awareness
  MDA platforms provide authorities with a comprehensive view of maritime activities, enhancing their situational awareness. This allows for better decision-making, response coordination, and the allocation of resources.
• International Cooperation
  Maritime domains often span multiple countries, and international cooperation is essential for security and safety. MDA platforms facilitate the sharing of information and intelligence with other nations, promoting regional and global maritime security.
• Legal and Regulatory Compliance
  Ensuring that vessels comply with international maritime laws and regulations is a significant task. MDA platforms help monitor compliance with laws related to safety, security, environmental protection, and trade.
• Data Analysis and Prediction
  MDA platforms gather vast amounts of data over time. By analyzing historical data and trends, authorities can make predictions about future maritime activities, enabling proactive measures to address emerging challenges.

The greatest worldwide coverage of AIS data

With Gatehouse Maritime, you get the greatest AIS data coverage on the market, both in terms of historical data volume and current geographic coverage.

Why does this matter? Because it empowers you to access comprehensive information essential for your operations, as you will be working with continuously updated vessel characteristics, positions, movements, and behaviors, as well as records and alerts of incidents and worldwide ports.

Our aim is to enable you to create genuine ocean intelligence.

Enhanced intelligence via advanced AIS data machine learning

Harnessing global AIS data, we tap into AIS base stations established by governments worldwide which provide public access to a wealth of AIS information.

Over the last two decades, we’ve meticulously collected AIS data for the EU. Our efforts extend to the rest of the globe, amassing a decade’s worth of data. Can you name another player in the market who has collected this much data, capable of harnessing this extensive dataset to generate advanced machine-learning algorithms? Our goal is to deliver the best technically possible AIS data insights.
