Enhanced Satellite AIS
Enhanced Satellite AIS is a next-generation solution from Spire Maritime that further augments our premium data quality and provides an additional layer of data precision and increased accuracy for highly congested and high traffic maritime zones.
Combined with Spire Maritime’s global satellite AIS tracking, all regions and vessels are covered with consistent, reliable and frequent updates.
What is Spire’s Enhanced Satellite AIS data?
Spire Maritime’s Enhanced Satellite AIS is complimentary to Standard AIS and Real-Time AIS. It offers premium global ocean coverage to track global maritime activities.
Enhanced Satellite AIS provides an unprecedented frequency of position updates in high traffic zones such as the South China Sea, busy ports, and shipping lanes. Enhanced Satellite AIS addresses gaps in traditional/other methods of collecting AIS data, delivering more unique MMSIs (up to 115K per day) and up to 67M additional AIS messages per day.
- High traffic zone coverage: +60% unique vessels in high traffic zones including in the South China Sea, Gulf of Mexico, Gulf of Persia, & more
- All active AIS devices detected with over 600K vessels, 378K active vessels/day
- Available Vessels Options: 1) All vessels, 2) All vessels of a specific type, 3) A specific fleet, 4) individual vessels with either AIS Class A or Class B transponders
- Static, positional and voyage related data
- Additional unique MMSIs: up to 115K vessels per day
- Number of messages: up to 67M additional messages per day
- Historical data available dating back to October 2018
What is Enhanced Satellite AIS useful for?
Commodity / market intelligence:
- Identify trends in trade routes, port calls, and shipping lanes to provide insights into emerging markets, shifting trade patterns, and global supply chain dynamics.
- Analyze vessel movements and trade activities to anticipate market trends, pricing fluctuations, demand-supply dynamics, and geopolitical risks to help facilitate market forecasting and risk assessment.

Vessel performance / Route optimization:
- Mitigate operational risks by providing complimentary information on vessel positions, traffic patterns, and maritime hazards. By monitoring vessel movements and route deviations, operators can identify potential risks, such as collisions, groundings, or adverse weather conditions, and take proactive measures to avoid or mitigate them, especially in high traffic zones.
- Optimize vessel routes by providing insights into current maritime conditions, traffic patterns, and weather forecasts.
Offshore asset surveillance / protection: :
- Identify unauthorized or suspicious vessels approaching sensitive areas, enabling timely intervention and response.
- Identify patterns, trends, and anomalies in vessel activities, facilitating early detection of potential threats, such as piracy, smuggling, or illegal fishing.
- Assess security risks associated with offshore operations by providing insights into vessel movements. Used with other intelligence sources, analysts can identify potential threats, assess risk levels, and develop proactive security measures.
